I work just off the coast of Luanda on a bp fpso (oil boat).
Each trip i've experienced to date has been nothing more than disgraceful.
For starters, the length of time to get through passport control is a joke, on a good day it will take you about 3 hours.
Secondly, the attitude of the locals leaves allot to be desired and they are all looking for extra money, one guy even asked me for some dollars to get an entry form!!
Thirdly, the general hygiene of the place is shocking, its an eye opener to say the least, the majority of local guys working offshore also have no regard to personnel hygiene, every trip i get a bug within the first week and feel rotten for the remainder of the trip, i'm now in the process of a career change.
And last but not least the homeward journey is just as bad as the entry, one of my work party was rejected ...
Advantages: Great fun to play Disadvantages: Could spend too long on the PC not enough doing housework!
I am a great fan of games like this, where you manage little worlds!

Once you start making the people happy (which is recommended so that they want to visit your island), by ...
Advantages: Good to play if you like games like sims & settlers Disadvantages: Not a good tutorial so you have to learn as you play
How would you like to run a carribean island? well not a real one just one on the computer game tropico.
You are the president of a carribean island and have to make money and build up your population. The first thing you have to do is get some money in so more people come to your island. You can do this by building farms (which also feed you people), mines, tourist places (hotels, swimming pools), nightclubs & resturants. You also need to keep you people happy to make them stay on the island. To do this you must make sure there is not much pollution, build them good houses, give them good paid jobs, and build lots of places for entertainment (pubs, nightclubs, casinos etc). The also need churches for the religous people and schools and colleges for people to learn useful skills. You have an election once every 10 years (or earlier if ...
