A year in Liberia, West Africa

Happiness...

is a cold beer... pshhhiiiit, gulp, gulp, gulp...


While the country was eagerly awaiting for the National Elections Commission to make an official declaration that Ellen Sirleaf Johnson had become Africa's first woman president back in November, we took some time out to go sample Monrovia's finest ale at the Club Beer factory... (they brew Guinness here too)

Awel, santé!

Hi,

This is Henry Shepherd from the public radio show Open Source. I linked to your blog in January during the inauguration of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.

I saw a headline today that caught my attention. According to the BBC, water and electricity have been reconnected in parts of Monrovia and surrounding areas. Unfortunately, it seems there was a fire at the ceremony, as well. Here is the link to the story I read http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5218164.stm

So, it would be great to hear how life is going for you. Is there a noticeable change since the inauguration? Had you already heard about the restoration of these facilities? Are people optimistic?

I hope this note finds you well. I would love to hear back from you with whatever news you have.

Cheers,

Monrovia, maybe I had heard of it, but had no idea until I did a search on Google to find your blog. My friend works as a stewardess for a small independent airline company that apparently has been detained there. I am praying for her safety. Apparently food and personal items have been confiscated and I thank you for your short course "man in monrovia."

I'm glad the blog is of use. I haven't heard or read anything about a plane being detailed though... that's worrying.
Do you know the airline?
