EP18: Kisangani, expatriates & Stanley Falls
Listen now
Description
In this episode I recount on arriving at Kisangani, I disembark off the boat after a 7-day amazing adventure and spend a few days in the town greeting strangers like long-lost friends and meeting expatriates, including their primate pets. I also spent a morning watching the local fishermen at Stanley Falls (named after the explorer Stanley and now called Boyoma Falls) on the rapids of the Lualaba River. I watch the fishermen climbing over the tall framework and raising and lowering the large funnel-shaped fish traps or standing in the chest-high fast-flowing river current fixing traps. As part of the life lessons for this episode, I look at tourists, travellers and expatriates and explore their differences while emphasising the need to respect cultural differences.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/justine-murray0/message
