Sierra Leone

[Schuerzenjaeger]

This is how the night ended up:

4pm. Paddys nightclub. Have to make a choice now. Otherwise the beer will take over control. "nice fishnet top you wear". Ok, let's pick this one. Looks relaxed. If not to say submissive. Enough. Of we are to the guesthouse. "hey, this fishnet top is not only a top.

Some additions from last night:

#52: It does not necessarily have to be black - some nice blond NGO-chicks are around

#0452: Look at that bum - dangerous!

[Schuerzenjaeger]

So, the week is done, at least the part I spend at the office.

I am heading to Aberdeen (the western area where you find all the action).

To give you a little impression, here are some pics from the dancefloor.

All treated with Corel Paint Shop 10.

This is a test report.

[Member #3400]

Yes, its comprehensive and very professional report by a serious adventurer.

The editor should give you a "00" status or at least a senior member position

Hotels seems expensive by African's standards.

Thanks Max

Mate,

Fabulous report! Most informative and certainly, Sierra Leone is one to watch for the hardcore monger.

[Schuerzenjaeger]

Efremof,

you know the essentials already: Exotic girls!

But the country (or rather the capital city Freetown as there is no point venturing beyond unless you are into diamonds or bird watching (real birds, that is, the ones who fly).

The beaches south of the capital (count 15-45 minutes driving on quite tough dirt roads) are excellent and the best of West Africa. Forget Gambia and the Senegal. There is one bay after the other with clean white sand, even cleaner blue water and palm-lined; most of them developed in some way but still more or less empty even on weekends. Development ranges from Cotton Club at Lakka with pool and colonial style bungalows (should be around 50-60$) to lots of smaller local restaurants and beach huts (try “Bocuse” at Lakka but avoid the rip-off at otherwise nice beach No2). If you are into surfing, join the British Army Officers at Burreh Beach.
The italian Restaurant and Guesthouse Francos (50$) in Sussex has the best Lobster, Pasta and Barracuda. They organise boat trips and rent scuba gear!

That’s the third point: Seafood is abundant, fresh and reasonable (count 20$ for 1kg Lobster).

In town, checkout Country Lodge at Hill Station (on the hill with great view over part of Freetown), Mamba Point (nice garden) or Alex’s (at the waterfront), where three course menu excl. spirits will set you back between 25-35$.

There are lots of guesthouses and Hotels, like Country Lodge, Cabendas, Mamba Point, but for that you should go to visitsierraleone.org, they know better as I only use them for short periods.

For this purpose, your best bet is the guesthouse directly opposite Paddys Nightclub. 10$ per hour or 100$ per night (the daily rate is overpriced, but for the shortcut, as they say here, the location is unbeatable.)

Which leads us to the essential spots for most of you fellow mongerers:

Paddys nightclub (and all the other ones) are jam-packed with chicks, mostly from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. They come in all shapes and sizes.

A shortcut will set you back 10-18$, a night 15-20$. As you can see, not much of a price difference. If you take them for the night, they speculate on GFE so you get a kind of discount.

But beware: Lock your valuables before you go out, and maybe lock the room once inside with her and hide the key so she wont be able to sneak out with your jeans, shoes, mobile etc. at 5.30 in the morning. This rule especially applies if you are drunk!

Please, don’t overpay! Bear in mind that the average salary is somewhere between 30 and 100 $ A MONTH!!! Your fellow local mongerers (yes, there are a lot of them!) will be grateful if you don’t inflate the market! The prices quoted are white man’s prices anyway. If she asks for much more, leave her. Experience shows she will be trouble! And no hooker is special enough to justify trouble!

Apart from Paddys, you have Buggys, Copacabana (Thursdays only) and Lagoonda. You will more or less see the same chicks if you make the tour for a week as they do the same.

If you want less professionals, try China House on Fridays with live band and Sierra Leone middle class, Jay Bees or Old School with a mix of Lebanese and well-heeled locals.

Sunday evenings is a must at Bintas Beach Bar, with a young and trendy crowd.
If you have a cool local to go with you, go into the east of Freetown (which is the poorer, rougher part of the city).

But in my opinion the best experiences will not be hunted in clubs. As with many other places in Africa, your best bets are the ones you see in restaurants, on the street, in a shop (hairdressers!) etc. A good place with an excellent view on the city and on some of the best chicks in town is the university Fourah Bay College, nestled in the hills above Freetown. And if you check your emails at the British Council, keep your eyes open as well.

So always have your mobile phone number ready (as an experienced traveller you obviously bought your local sim (comium is the cheapest) straight away) and you will set up more dates then the day has hours. Have a nice dinner, a drink at the beach etc. and in 99% of the cases you will end up in bed that evening (the one percent refers to women who go out on a date despite being on their period).

Generally, you will be safe in all public places, meaning where there are people. So avoid the beach after dark and generally walking around after 11pm. But I must say that Freetown, compared to other capitals in Africa, is a lovely, slow and peaceful place. People will go on your nerves with “white man, white man”, which is in 100% of the cases the start to some sort of begging, but once you start ignoring this, you will be fine. Been in the country for one and a half years now and have never been assaulted (apart form the crazy taxi drivers while driving , but they belong to Freetown like the fog to London).

You can take public cabs, but I wouldn’t board one alone during the night. Better you arrange with a cab driver on a daily/weekly basis (daily should be around 20$ if you hire for a week) or you rent a car from the travel agencies in town (expensive).
To fly you have the choice between British Airways and SNBrussels or the cheaper Astreus from Gatwick (800-900$ return). Alternatively, fly from Dakar for around 250-300$ return with Bellview. There are also connections to Nairobi and Accra.

After all the praise, let me not forget the downside: 98% percent of the women are circumcised, meaning they passed a so-called traditional ritual where an old woman cut of their clit with a razorblade. So even if you get nice GFE, it will never be the same as in, say, Mozambique, because she won’t be into it like black girls from southern Africa. And regardless of what other people claim, you don’t get an orgasm without the clit.

Exotic girls in a mysterious country. We would like to know more on that country.

Very few people have been there, so its very exciting contribution.

Max

[Schuerzenjaeger]

And some more.

#2942: Rather then making comments, qualify yourself by posting some content rather then just hunting other peoples pictures!

[Schuerzenjaeger]

One more beauty from Sierra Leone.

As soon as my work here slows down a little over the weekend I will give you an update on the situation in the country.

[Trick Williams]

I know Sierra Leone has a lot more than that to offer. That ass is disturbing. Yuck!

[Schuerzenjaeger]

After following this forum for a while (respect AR, Efremof and a few others), gaining enough experience in Sierra Leone I feel it is time to contribute myself.

Before I launch myself into longer reports, alittle appetizer of things to come.

[DanceAllNite]

If you are a strict monegerer, not looking for historical sites, wildlife and all that other mallarkey, then freetown is a GREAT place! It is now secure. The war is over. Things are moving on. But, most importantly, the having is there. If you into african women of all shapes and sizes, then this the place for you. There are some decent hotels here, some wonderful restaurants, the only drawback is the relative scarcity of nightspots. But those few are jumping with babes. You can pick anything you want here. Relatively cheap. Le40,000 (US$12) for a night. But also they are very friendly and willing to give true GFE. Just expect to leave a little something when you finnish.

Just my little input there.

[Roderick]

Last week, an Australian policeman was released from jail, after charges for sexually assaulting a minor were set aside by an Appeals Court. It was an interesting case . Halloran, the guy at the cente of this controversy, seems to claimed that he was convicted on trumped up charges. Perhaps he was innocent, after all.

Does anyone in Freetown ( or anyhere else) have anything that would shed any light on this particularly intreseting drama.

[Global Citizen]

Can anyone tell me what the situation in Freetown is like these days ? from a security and mongering standpoint.

Thanks.
