Yes, I am already in Liberia and I found sloooow access to the internet. Liberia surprised me at the beginning: empty airport, smooth arrival procedures and then – 60 km of excellent road to the distant capital (built by Chineese).
But that’s all. Monrovia still suffer from the years of civil war. No water in the tubes, electric power only few hours per day.
I went to the recommmended by friend former Florida Motel.
They changed the name again – now it is called Rose Jam Motel. Run down institution. I asked the charming and young black lady how much they charge for the dump room. The response was: Five dollars per hour including me…
Then I explained that I want to stay overnight and she said: 20 dollars US.
Update your info Kris: now here is no need to register at the police, to supply photos and to pay extra 25 USD fee – sounds better!
They have local currency: Liberian dollar. On the streets there are plenty of money changers on the holed streets and they give 63 Liberian for 1 USD. But in fact USD are loved and accepted by everyone. Banana cost 5 LRD, big orange 10 LRD. Expensive! It is the capital city – the province is probably cheaper. I’ll try to survive…
