A beautiful country

Advantages: it's a beautiful country
Disadvantages: no one

...Hello, this is my second opinion and I have to try to apply me to prevent making English faults, I espere that you will hold account of it! Gabon is located on the Atlantique coast, frontier with Guinea Equatoriale, Cameroun and Congo. Although this country is under the equator, heat (35° in February and 27° in July-August) is bearable thanks to its proximity with the ocean. Rich country thanks to its significant natural resources (oil, uranium, manganese, gold, diamond), one meets there many businessmen European, Lebanese or American and very few tourists. While moving away from the Libreville capital, one can discover the equatorial forest in all his splendour and breathe an absolutely pure air there. Let us not forget Lambaréné where professor Albert Schweitzer lived and finished his life. In this city, one...

Review of General: Gabon

a paradise

Advantages: it's very beautiful
Disadvantages: nobody

...Hello, this is my first opinion, I am a Frenchwoman and I comes from ciao.fr. Today, I will present a country or i'am to you lived for ten months with my husband and my sons. Indeed, located in equatorial Africa , you have access has a true " terrestrial paradise ". Gabon is rich by its fauna (there are several species animal protected like gray parrots has red tail, of the elephants, the rhinocéros..) and its flora (there are many species of flowers, more beautiful the ones than the others and which feel the tropics). We lived has Libreville, the capital, it is populated of 400 00 inhabitants and it is located in edge of sea. Libreville adopts a Africano landscape - European (African with the shantytown and Europeans with the hotels of luxury.). Misery is quite present but the population is very accessible...

Review of General: Gabon

A "weir"ly wonderful cottage

Advantages: Peaceful, well appointed, great views, lovely setting
Disadvantages: having to come home

...we find that like the cottage the garden is wide but rather narrow with a steep slope down to the river bank. The river bank has been widened last year by the use of Gabon's, this process is done by driving willow stakes into the river bed and weaving willow strips into these stakes, and then back filling with local rocks and earth, the finished effect adds about a meter to the garden, and for the fisherman it makes fishing the 450ft river frontage much easier. The garden has mainly traditional cottage garden beds which are alive with butterflies (I counted 9 different species) a fruiting plum and cherry tree. There are 3 wooden seats and reclining garden chairs to sit on, the only problem is trying to find a shady spot as the sun is on the garden all day. The next surprise is the Summerhouse, which is hidden behind a large clump...

Review of Weir Cottage, Dunsford, Devon

Watch out for your batteries!

Advantages: Good domestic and West African network
Disadvantages: Having to transit Casablanca

...in West Africa offering one of the most direct transit routes from the UK to several destinations in Sub Sahara Africa. The airline also offers a code share with Delta to the US (New York) and has quite an extensive domestic route that is largely not covered by any other international operator. The fleet comprises predominantly a range of Boeing 737 totalling 30 (with 11 further series 800 on order). In addition there are 2 ATR 72-300s, a 747-400, 2 757-200s and 3 767-300s, A further indication of the airlines ambition to expand is its order for 5 of the new so called Dreamliner 787s from Boeing. The airline holds a 51% share in low cost Moroccan airline, Atlas Blue and a similar share in the main Senegal and Gabon flag carriers. Check in Check in at Heathrow was a breeze; I was the only passenger and had a selection...

Review of Royal Air Maroc

Which way foreward?

Advantages: Less greenhouse gas
Disadvantages: Other perceived problems

...the environment. This is, I think, over hyped. Yes it is radioactive and some of it can last a long time, but it does decay into less radioactive waste. That is what the term Half Life means. The amount of time it takes for half the radioactivity to decay. For example, after 40 years 99.9% of radiation in spent nuclear fuel disappears I have been informed. The danger is that this waste MAY become a plutonium mine for some future terrorist, but some of this plutonium will itself be contaminated with a different isotope that does not lend itself to a nuclear explosion. I would mention that there is a place in Olko in Gabon where some 1.5 to 2 million years ago a natural reaction took place that lasted for possibly hundreds of thousands of years. The radioactive decay products did not migrate very far into the natural environment. It would appear...
