A little clarification:

I'm not building a bridge. Mainly just wanted an offering. The Marines stationed there know the area better than anyone else. I will be working at the embassy, and have been told to make friends with them immediately. Technically, they aren't allowed to accept gifts -- but if it's something small that may be a small slice of America that is difficult to get abroad, they aren't sticklers for it.

I have access to secure ATMs, internet, currency exchange, people to help me book trips out and recommend places to go/etc.

Was wondering if anyone did something awesome there (besides buy blood diamonds and smuggle tigers back, both of which I plan to do) and knew about it.

Saden -- mind expanding on this one? Make sure your pants belt has notches before and after the current notch you wear it at.
