In my wallet, I now have the following items:
-a meager pittance of Congolese francs and American dollars
-a few business cards with MY name on it
-an SOS Emergency Evacuation Card
-a Congolese driver's license
-an American driver's license
-a credit card (made obsolete by the lack of credit card facilities here)
-SN Brussels and Air France frequent flyer cards (with, like, 10 miles on each...Woohoo free flights here I come)
-an employee identification card
-a photocopy of my American passport and my French one
-a Very Important Numbers list (Embassies, the UN, medical centers, International Emergency Centers and, as last resort, the Kinshasa police)
-a certificate attesting my legality when carrying a short wave two-ways radio
If I loose it, I'm so screwed. What's in your Wallet?

Hi, I'm Kate's (Red Handed Jill's) friend Will. Your blog is very interesting.
I think I'll go ahead and steal your entry idea :-) My wallet's alot more boring though...
I can't believe Pizza Hut isn't in your list of Very Important Numbers!
You should attach your wallet to your pants with an elastic cord, like Dupond & Dupont in Tintin...:)
-Ammo
Actually, I believe that the wallet attached with a chain is the one that finally managed NOT to get stolen...
Thanks Will, that's very nice!
Groan, A and V, as you collaborating in dorkiness? Besides, I wouldn't put elastic on my wallet because I would be scared it would spring back into my face (like the DuponT and DuponD)
Wow looks like RDC is getting to serious business...
BTW, blog is updated and will be more regularly updated from now on...
Take care !
Shelter clearance? homeland one? What are those? Condom? Interesting combination of things...
