    Presumably you have a credit card, taxi to the airport while still in Khartoum and book yourself a flight out and just chalk it down to experience.

    You have committed yourself thus far. My guess is it will be as tough getting out of there as it was getting in, obviously. Mine as well try to tuff it out now. Ha ha, no pun intended. Looks like your embassy copied and pasted from the US link I sent you. That place looks pretty rough, tough to keep your eyes open in a sandstorm but surely keep your head down.

    This is one hell of an adventure your on and that's putting it mildly. Keep us up to date with the pics and such. You didn't by chance download any Indiana Jones flicks? Just kidding. Stay safe and in good health physically and mentally and you'll be home in no time. With some tails to tell for years to come.

    I'll be buying the Beer Lao next time through Vientiane just to hear a few. Shrimps on the barbie mate and all. Best of luck.

    You dont see any holes in the ground , plant etc because if you read the thread you would see im in khartoum waiting for travel documents prior to going to site. Pics of the sandstorm taken by me this morning pic of the camp taken by the other aussie. You sent me a Red suggesting im taking the piss. Google sudan sandstorm . Not interested? Dont click on the thread

    I suspect sandstorms in Sudan are a regular occurrence and hence pics of dusty African streets abound vis a search.

    And i suspect your a bit of a wanker. Oh OH Dust storms do indeed happen regularly in sudan this one was more intense than usual according to the locals. And saw all flights in and out of khartoum cancelled. Sure as fuck hope it doesnt happen on the day im trying to go on R&R.
    Yes, any coont can google an image of a duststorm but when you have a camera and a duststorm is happening outside why would i?

    Your barking up the wrong tree mate. Im not in the habit of bullshitting you or the forum.

    Looks like the birth of a nice little compound BLD. All it really needs is good inter webs and a company bar. Looks like it could be thirsty work.
    Id be chucking clothes out of my suitcase, just fit in a slab of golden nectar.
    Its good to be in at the start of that kind of job. You can always blame someone else for the lack of progress.
    Happy returns mate, I’m sure you will make a fist of it.

    I've been in some wicked sandstorms in Kuwait..not fun. Get a good mask if you don't already have one and stay indoors.
    Best of luck with your experience. Do the time, and get out.
