The Life and Times of a Pakistani visitor to Africa.


Independence Day II

As mentioned in my previous post, an Independence Day(s) party was held in Brazzaville. It was a blast (by Brazzaville standards) and both Pakistanis and Congolese had a lot of fun. The cake cutting ceremonies were patriotic and displayed a unique intersection of two nations which probably had never crossed paths before we came to Congo.

You can see more pictures of the Independence Day Party.

    I know this must be the culture there but the way these guys are standing in front of the cakes with their hands on their chest, they look like the Iranians doing a saner matam at the over state of the country! :)

    I think Zaidi Sb (the CEO) did this as a sign of respect for their national anthem and they took it to be the custom of our country. I guess we have a new culture brewing over here.
