Exiled to Togo for 1 month

I was on a biz trip to Togo for a month. The living condition there is quite bad. Its hot and dry, the air is polluting and the streets without the traffic signal. The Ibis hotel here is pathetic but its consider very good in Africa standard. There are lots of mosquito here. Long waiting time at CDG for Lome-Paris-Sin (A380)Transportation is not convinient and its hard to walk under the hot sun. Lucky there is internet here but slow connection. At least I can give my wife a call. Weekend in Togo is really boring, I would rather be in the office. The main language is French and it's hard to communicate. Things here are pretty pricy since its peg to Euro. A can of coke cost about EUR 0.40 if you buy it from a supermarket. But supermarket are far in between. This place feels like KL in the 1950s.  I would like to go home as soon as possible.................

The BEST hotel around. Ibis!!

I look so depressed
