Congolese women like to dress for a party, too. But parties are not too frequent in the Congo. Even in the cities, parties are for something special. Birthdays and anniversaries are the most common. Annually, a business office may have a party for its employees.
I arrived in Kinshasa, the capital city, on the evening of New Year's Day. I heard that some people adjacent to my guest house celebrated the New Year until 6 in morning. It is wonderful to escape to another life!
