FABIO'S REVIEW

Yellow-Visiting

La Ilha (“The Island”) is a residential beachfront area of Luanda, where most expats stay. This is where I lived too most of the time. In theory there are great sandy beaches; in reality these sandy beaches were (are?) used as latrines - hence the numerous signs “Proibido cagar” (“Shi**ing forbidden”) placed along the beaches. My sense of smell however indicated that many people did not read them.
