I cannot resist. For one who claims to value objectivity and authenticity of data I am simply stunned. Our students are held to higher standards when considering the reliability and currency of their sources. Surely you are not basing all of your facts and figures on numbeo.com? You do realize that the only Angolan McDonalds is in the USA. My monthly expenditures here in Luanda are now down to $500/month. Rest assured we all look forward to your next installment from here in the conflict zone. Now where did I leave those damn pom poms?

Yes, sad loss. He was excellent. Should you be interested, the school is small, and there are a good bunch of experienced IBO teachers (many former ISHCMC staff).

The post has surfaced now due to the recent passing of the former teacher. Very unfortunate circumstances. Last I spoke to him he was pretty happy with the job and the conditions.
