Something about Libreville, my Hometown
Hello eveyone
here another post about Libreville my little hometown. To those who read me for the first time, I explained in the previous post that Libreville is the capital city of Gabon. Yes,you never heard about this little country in Africa but it is here. It exists (smile)
We live in that little city and there is life here too. This a view from work as you can see my hometown is bordered by the sea. You take such video when you are not doing something important or on your break time. We live a very simple life yet i admit there is a lot to improve here but that's the way it is. We do not have big bridges and buildings. We have what we have (smile)
You can visit my older post if you want to see more of my stories about my city
Today again I am sharing something about Libreville. After work there is life and in the weekend people are living.
I won't talk too much. I am taking you in my world for few minutes. Recently with a friend of mine we went with our kids to a place called the Tsunami. It is here in town. As usual I am sharing here short videos. Very short because I really have no time yet to do full videos and editing them takes time.
It was in the afternoon and the kids had so much fun! I enjoyed my food and my drink.
That was good
This week I went on to have my Me Time. Being a mom is a lot of work too and you tend to forget yourself. So yes I took a time for me. That place is a beauty instotute located in area named London in Libreville of course . The name is the Centre Laser and I like their services. I went there before and I recommend this place. They do so many things and it worth spending your money for your beauty and self care ladies.
Then last week I went to a place called La Cave de Jonas. They sell so many good products artisanal (hand craft) made in Gabon and some other places too. They also sell good wines, liquors and champagnes.
You know I like wines so much and champagne too.
As I was looking to know what type of wines they had they served me a good tea and I must say the service is good there. They know how to welcome and take care of their customers.
I spent good time at the restaurant that was first a beach club. It is called the Iroko. The iroko is a name of a local wood here. I loved the place and I enjoyed spending my few hours there. If you ever come to Libreville, try to go at the Iroko.
If you go later at night in that place you will love it. The sea is just right there and the sound of the waves. The breeze and the smell of the ocean. You will see people eating and dancing. There is good music and you will love the lights , the lanterns etc.
I ordered a drink which was a mix of beer, syrup and something else like some drops of liquor I guess and it is called the Monaco. I found it original. I liked my drink.
You know I am a foodie person I could not leave without eating something lol!
I ordered something and it was the spaghetti Carbonara if I remember the name. Well it was simple. It was good!
I guess I said all in this post. I try not to be negative but staying positive. I take you into my little world.
Thank you for reading. Tonight I thought about sharing this beautiful song from Mafikizolo a group from South Africa. Yes, I used to live there. I am kind of sad just thinking about the sad news I recently got. My two very close friends of mine passed away. We used to be very close. They were like my two brothers from another mother, We had the best time together in Johannesburg. They were the only ones who understood me when I was misunderstood by others. Everyday is a mystery. When I get news like that I am asking myself what makes me different from others for me to still be here alive?
I am simply thankful. I thank God everyday. If I tell you all the stories I had with these two guys, you will laugh. I think I should make that video. We were young...We had fun in Joburg. Birthday parties, barbecues and the day when Eric took me with another friend to a sex shop. My goodness! I didn't know first. Lol! He closed my eyes with his hands and made me walk to somewhere. He just told me let's go somewhere in a good shop for you to visit. (You have to understand I was too reserved, too introvert and strict with myself because of the way I was raised. You know my upbringing) so they thought I should be open a little bit. They took me there when he removed his hands from my eyes I looked around then I screamed Lol! Because I saw porn magazines, sex toys. I realized that I was in a sex shop. They both laughed at me. I wanted to get out of the sex shop quickly. As I opened the door I fell face to face with some people and some students of my school who were waiting for the bus at the bus stop. So I had no choice then hiding my face lol! I pulled my friends'hat and put it on my head so I hoped not to be recognized. Because it will be talked at school...Some students going at the sex shop including a girl. I left quikly. I waited for them at the corner of the street. And yes guys, my friends bought stuffs there. And yes I was shocked but I realized that they were men ..so there was nothing I could do about it. Eric told me "Do not try to open the bag and look what we purchased." So I didn't do it. Lol! What a story!
I am still laughing just thinking about it. or the story of whe he almst put me in trouble with a girl who was a friend of mine and the husband (I did not know she was married) surprised us.. o my word, it was a long story lol!
### Well, Rest in peace dear friends. I miss you very much. Life is a mystery. Love each other dear readers and enjoy life every single day and minute of it.
Thank you Mafikizolo for this beautiful song "Ngeke Balunge". From the first day I put my feet in South Africa, I listen to your music. Keep shining Mafikizolo. You take me back to so many memories in South Africa. My lonely time, my friendships, the sad and good moments of my life.
