Luanda! The land of $25 Heineken.

I was deepwater. Block 14. We choppered off the Melongo terminal.

I'm in West Texas today. Still chasing them damn oil rigs.

25$ ? Are you for real?

It is... thinks are really expensive. I lived there for 6 months.
Probably you can buy an AK-47 for the same price :(

Jesus Christ! 25$ is insane! I can understand them being more expensive than local stuff, but damn!

It has a lot to do with currency problems in Angola. The Kwanza (their currency) bounces from a 3rd world currency to a commodity currency depending on oil prices and if the current government is allowing drilling and allowing it's citizens to work.

It's a complicated mess. But when the Kwanza is crashing, inflation soars rapidly.

I didn't know it was that bad over there. Thought the only real country so locked in to cause that much of a mess via inflation was Venezuela...
