ONE OF THE interns turned 22 today.Yeah, I know what you're thinking, and I hate her too.
Anyway, to help her celebrate, we went to a goat bar in Kinshasa's Bon Marche district. After choosing various N&Ms (nuggets 'n' morsels) that we wanted for our meal (see photo to left), we sat down al fresco with some some roasted peanuts and 750 mL (standard size) beers. I had a Skol. We bought napkins from some of the chegues (street kids) who peddle various items along that strip. Then the goat arrived, accompanied by some mannioc. Someone baked a chocolate cake for dessert. The whole deal cost about 7 bucks a person.
And a good time was had by all (except for the goat).
Here's a video of the goat butcher:
N.B.: Apologies to my sister for this entire post.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Add $4 to the price of the evening -- that's for transport.

The great attention to price demonstrated throughout this blog, and especially in relation to bananas, is not only inspiring, but leaves little doubt that we are related (despite any birthday cards suggesting the contrary). Mazel tov, and viva la busqueda de ofertas. - Matt
I just became a born again vegetarian.
Floyd sends a holler. To the goat.
Still a fan of the blog despite everything, Karen
Substitute an 11yo boy for the man, and the chickens for the goats and you'll see me in VietNam
