I have just come across Liberia Ledger, a fun blog kept by a Sacramento native and former political reporter who is now doing development work in Liberia.

I like this post:

What’s the Best Day to Arrive at Monrovia’s Airport?

Xmas Eve! All the employees are in a hurry to get home, and they shuffle you through in record time!

In related news, they seem to have put women into all the potentially bribe-seeking positions at the airport. This is an anti-corruption measure pioneered by the government of Mexico City in the early 1990’s, where they put women in all the traffic cop jobs. Bravo!It was pretty neat to see dozens of Liberians flying home for the holidays, many of them probably for the first time.
