My story when I Travel to Congo

Year -3/ 7/20100 TO 26/7/20010

It was year 2013 July 18, I was on assignment to visit 3 site in Congo for housekeeping and laundry training Bukau twangza and Kibali this all sites was in remote area in deep dense forest, no proper roads structure if rainfall is there we would get stuck in car for hours ,our company rule was we can only travel during day time from 7 am to 7 pm. We had a local driver who had knowledge of road and could speak local language with security guard.we were already brief my company if there is any arm robbery attack on road while traveling we should not argue and follow the instruction given hand over laptop money everything but save your life.I remember the day of my school when my father took me to see the movie African safari, the dense forest the pigmy in the forest, at when we were traveling through dense forest with no roads the driver stop the car and told us not to come out of car. He locked the car door and with security guard started walking in front of car I try to see what is happening out the road was blocked with the stone and wooden blocks,I could see group of people standing in front with guns and knife in hand I was so frighten think today is last day of my life , after 15 minutes of argument driver and security guard came back and they unblock road for us, the people out side shouting muzongo muzongo that means white men, after some time I asked driver what happened he said it is usual thing in forest here, he paid some money to them but I never asked him how much,this incident happened 3 times on road traveling from city to mine site, we started 7 : 30 am and we reached site around 5: 30 pm

I finished site entry formalities and site induction,

This mining site was 1600 above sea level, on top of mountain, I was taken in tent which was hardly 7 feet by 5 feet very small tent with one small bulb in it. I kept my luggage, it was getting dark I was taken to mess area for dinner, it was empty people had already eaten and gone to there tent, I was hungry I collected my food plate from the counter and I sat to eat, when I open the silver foil from the plate I saw there was tow chicken piece salad .now I was so frustrated, I am a pure vegetarian person I donтАЩt even eat egg, I went to counter there was local chef and a waiter. I took plate and told them I am vegetarian, now the real fun started both of them could not speak English one could speak french and other only his local language Lingal****a, they took plate from my hand and wen inside the kitchen, I waited for 10 minute, the chef never came out he locked kitchen door from back side and to his tent. Now te waiter was with me . I was so hungry and I need to eat some before I sleep , I was trying to talk to him but we could not understand sing word of each other, I saw coffee station so asked him coffee he understood the word coffee he open the fridge to take out milk, it was cool then I saw bread cheese, butter and some salad in fridge,so I some how manage to eat some thing

After that he closed the restaurant and we were out I wanted to go to wash room,I asked him for washroom , he did not understand, I was shoeing him with action he was just smiling,at last I have to open my paint zip he understood I was he was having a torch i was walking behind him after 25 to 30 step walking down I was in front of shower room there was no sing of male of female , some how I manage to fresh up., now I was worried about morning shower I check all wash room there was no hot water, the cam was new and just started the operation, I came out of washroom and I did not see him, now in dark with no torch with me I have to climb up and go to my tent, it was very cold weather, I had never experienced such a whether I was shivering because of cold , when I walked up there were 10 tents in a row and like that there were 8 line means 80 tents,

Now another problem I for got my tent were I was suppose to sleep there was no numbers on tent I searched my tent for 10 minutes but I could not find, I was exhausted tired cold was hitting my bones. If I have to go to main security gate I should walk 30 minutes and it was dark. I saw this waiter collecting the wood in dark, he saw me, and came to me, he was trying to tell me show me something but I was not interested, I hold his hand and took him towards tent, and I was asking him which is my tent. He took me to my tent I donтАЩt know how he understood that thanks god I was in my tent, with very thin mattress one pillow and blanket .I changed in my night dress and hit the bed. The wind started blowing as if the tent is going to fly out in that wind, so cold I was feeling sorry for my self, I made up my mind strong I cant blame any one, it was my decision to expect this job to travel around the world, to visit different countries to know different culture and to gain practical knowledge and to give them some book knowledge,
