Trip to Bongolo

Nascar isn't needed in Gabon

Roller coasters are not needed in Gabon

That off road race (don't remember what it's called) is not needed in Gabon

Why???

Cause we already have all those things... it's everyday driving in Gabon.

We went down to Bongolo again - took the interns so they could know the place and also have experience with dealing with a taxi driver. What an experience it turned out to be with the taxi driver!! His name was Rowan, and he claimed to be a singer moonlighting as a taxi driver. He drove 15 passenger van (in the US it would be a 10 passenger van). When I say he drove it... I mean he DROVE it! I think he has potential either with Nascar or the off roading circuit. At one point we were going 145km/hr (somewhere around 90m/hr). But the amazing thing was he never lost control of the vehicle even while the wheels squeeked on every turn... and there are a lot of turns in the roads here. I really don't understand why they are against straight roads here, but apparently they are.
