1-Never ask for ice when you drink something,because they  will not procude ice with distilled water,you can be sick.

2-Always try to drink something bottled and be sure that it is opened by your whitness ...,bear,water,coca cola what ever.

3-Dont walk alone in the night try to go with friends or by car.

4-If you drive police,always will try to stop you and ask for money if it's your daily regular way do what  he wants for the first time but next day will be the same ..don't worry smile and gently go on don't stop.

5-Keep always cleaning jell or soappy stuff with you,they like shake hands and unfortunately hands are not clean.

6-Take your maleria medicine daily.

I donnot agree with most of the advise, but we are all free to share opinions.
1-We do produce ice water, just ask for ice "coyah water" at the right places. That's a sachet distilled water.
2- what can they possibly put in your bottle if they opened it? poison? that's a non-funded conspiracy theory. Moreover, you have canned and carton packaged drinks also...
5- Depends on who you are greeting, i think that the same in every country. Even in the States.
6-Taking daily malarial medicine? seriously? that's not even healthy, anyway ask a medical doctor's advise.

I do agree with 3 and 4.

Cheers.

please can i get to know you more better because am planing on coming to conakry but am from nigeria

Hi samklef and welcome to Expat.com,

Please note that this is a very old thread.

For more visibility, it would be best if you could create a new discussion on the Guinea Conakry forum.

Why did you choose to move to Guinea Conakry? Do you have relatives there?

Thank you,
