LuandaMapAugust 24, 2014 Angola Airlines operates an exotic Boeing model that has a stairway built right into the plane.  You can always tell how pleasant a city is by the color of its lights. If the city is lit up in yellow, it’s nice there. If it’s white, it’s dreary. Luanda has practically no yellow.  Luanda is one of the most expensive cities in the world. I ended up here on a random connection and needed to spend the night somewhere. The airport was closing until morning, so I had to look for a hotel. What I found in the end was a complete dump with a view of corrugated sheet roofs held down with bricks and ACs.  They charged me a mere 400 dollars for five hours of sleep. Ah, the corrupting effect of an oil economy! |
