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 from the plane while checking in due to them overbooking it, whats wrong with that you may think air lines over book 1 or 2 by mistake but this plane was overbooked by 45, any ideas how they managed that?? Answers on a post card!! To sum up, just don't go if possible!!! ( i grudge giving it a star)
