Nothing worse than NYE 2005, which I spent in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo with an assortment of similarly displaced souls unhappy enough to be in that place at that time :'(
Ever heard that old rockabilly song, "Rockin' in the Congo?" They make it sound really fun ? In fact, I'm planning a on rewriting the lyrics to reflect a more nuanced reality than a bunch of lions and alligators throwing a party (and yes, I know there are no alligators in the Congo, but Hillbillies don't).
Something like:
If you see a young man dressed-up like a girl
AK, machete, and a string of pearls,
You better make tracks and don't go wrong,
Or you'll be rockin' the Congo all night long
Rockin' in the Congo
Rockin' in the Congo
etc.
