Congotex

[congogirl]

I'm sure I've written about Congotex before, which used to be UTEX-Africa.  The business was taken over by a Hong Kong businessman, who has changed the store to include some ready made clothes (see scary mannequins) and a cantine (limited grocery).

Hi, I like your blog and got curious of what you're doing in Congo!?

I work on HIV projects.

Heh, me too, I was quite surprised to see it! Although I've also bought fabric with gasoline pump handles too, and badminton birdies. The other day I saw a woman in an outfit splashed with gigantic lightbulb motifs.

Well - I'll see if I can hook you up then. The prints seem to rotate out, but I think they might have still had it. I'll have to get my act together, they close in an hour...

As I recall one time you sent me some handspun so it's my pleasure. Of course, you should probably email me a current mailing address.
