There were a lot of things, the comrades were also complaining no cigarettes and all that.  So I decided that I should go to town to see our chief rep, to tell him about our problems, maybe he can help because they were there.  There was Comrade Maake who was our chief rep at that time, the late Comrade Maake.  So I told the people there, the officers that I want to go to town can they give me somehow a lift to Luanda.  They said they are going to try to give me a lift to go and see my chief rep.  So I saw time was just passing by and then nothing was happening, so I decided that I would go there on my own.  I sold my shirt to the comrades in the camp of MPLA.  So they gave me some money.  I saw that this money is enough for me to get a bus to go to Luanda to see our chief rep, so I did so.
 I left the camp, I went to the bus terminus, it's a nearby town about five kilometres from our camp.  At the bus terminus this money I had it was old currency of last year, before they changed the currency.  The currency of Angola

was changed in January 1977 if I am not mistaken for only 30 days. So I still had the old Portuguese currency.  So I went to the bank because I had this new currency and this old currency so I wanted to get some money for provisions for the journey.  When I entered the bank I gave it to the bank teller that please can you change this old currency for me.  I couldn't speak Portuguese properly at that time, unlike now I can speak Portuguese properly, so this guy realised that no this fellow this is not an Angolan, his Portuguese is not so all right.
