Hey Euro Champ
I spent 2 years flying there in Kinshasa and I would like to give you the best advice you could ever hope to receive about the place. Take yourself from the computer you are on right now and go back to your bedroom, lie on your bed and wait until that feeling that you have go to kinshasa goes away! I was working for the U.N there and we had life very easy compared to a lot of others and it was still very difficult. If you really want to come to africa there are much nicer and better places than the DRC. Try Namibia, Botwana or even Zambia. I'm sorry I don't know any companies in any of those countries but they generally do have jobs for low timers. My second piece of advice is stick to the countries that speak english it will definately make life easier and in my experience they are much more pleasant places that the french spaeking countries. I wish all the best
