New Kero & New City

Katie and I found out there is a new Kero in town so Wednesday we had her driver take us to it. On the way we passed one of three of the Football (soccer) Stadiums in Luanda.

KERO!!! It was so nice and clean and big!! When Katie and I walked in we got a buggy and the first thing we both said was "New buggies...look how clean they are". You didn't have to look for a buggy that wasn't sticky or have trash in it. We didn't feel like we needed a shower when we left the store and that is always a good thing when going grocery shopping here, really going anywhere here. We took our time and went down every isle and looked at everything. I think we spent about 1.5 hours in the store. It was not busy and had plenty of checkers. The air conditioner wasn't the best but everything else made up for it.

Katie showing all the lovely home accents...there was even a car in it. It looks like a Wal-Mart and I would say priced like a Dillard's but probably about double Dillard's price. :-) By the way, this lady has made living here so easy. She is such a great friend and anyone would be lucky to have her in their life.

Look how nice, pretty and clean it is.

Scotch tape for $15.95...needless to say neither of us bought any. :-)

 This was a notebook for the kids...we thought it was cute.

Two glade candles for $21.00...good thing I got 4 for $5.00 at Target before I left.

The boys love these Cheerios for breakfast and I usually by about 5 boxes at a time when I can find them. I was so excited that the new Kero had them and only for $5.95 a box.

This is why I was so excited...look how many they had. This is more Cheerios than I have seen since living in Luanda. :-)

 I probably sound funny to everyone talking about how nice this store is and how much of everything they have but for those that live or have lived in Luanda you will understand where I am coming from. We said it's sad that a new store in town was the highlight of our week.

 I don't think I have ever seen this much and nice of produce in Luanda. It seemed like every time we turned a corner we were saying WOW!!! We even found some "real" chicken nuggets. I haven't tried them yet but I have heard they are good.

 After our shopping spree Bungo took us to see Kelemba also know as "The New City". He says it is for Africans but he also said it cost a lot to live there and he wouldn't be moving there. It was like it's own little town. I am sure once they finish it and everyone moves in that this Kero will end up being like the old one. It still gives us another place to hunt for food though. :-) It took about 30 mins to get there but was well worth the drive.

This is the school for Kelemba.
