Guinea aka: Guinee

i went to guinea to study west african drum & dance… it was quite the experience to say the least!

Africa was AMAZING!!!!! most people say “oh africa is trashy dont go there” and im not gona lie, some parts were. but i went there with a group called TRJE (go to www.TRJE.org for more info) for three weeks to learn about the mande speaking people, ther culture, there dances, and ther wanderful music!!! We even stayed through christmas and new year of 2006. but it was. I would definatly go back!!! Oh and on New Years eve.. we had a massive party WITH the them!!!!!!!!!hers a pic!!!!!!

I go here on vacations every now and then. The night clubs are AWESOME!!! Conakry is a very vibrant place, friendly people (but be careful some might want to steal your goodies). The country is really poor. Overall, Conakry is one of a kind.

Guinea is a very charming and authentic country. Nature is preserved compared to other countries in West Africa and people are very friendly. If you like “organized tourism”, dont go there… There’s no tourist accodomation…

like fleabite said, avoid connakry (the capital). Unless you want some excitement, or some strange barganing adventures in the marketplaces.

The open road is really nice, and the small village towns are the best.
