wish you were here

khartoum's post office is a bit hard to track down if you don't know what you're looking for. what you're looking for is a rundown, colonial-style building with a rusting wrought-iron fence, one street west of nile avenue.

you'll know for certain that you've arrived if, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., you see men outside this crumbling building selling postcards from the 80s for anywhere between 50 piestas and two pounds.

i've never seen anybody lounging along the nile. certainly never a woman in a short skirt.

the presidential palace. it's still pretty impressive.

camels. (in case you missed it, camels = africa)

Photobucket
random wildlife.

Photobucket
