Luanda - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?

There are local crafts available here but I wouldn't describe it as a "shopping post". - May 2021

Honestly, nothing. I've lived around the world and have seen very little here I would buy. Crafts in other countries are nicer and cheaper. Spending here is on groceries and restaurants/entertainment as well as transport/internet/basics. - Jul 2013
