Republic of Congo

 
Not to be confused with the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Republic of the Congo ,also known as Congo or Congo-Brazzaville, is a country located in Central Africa.
The region was dominated by Bantu-speaking tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. Congo-Brazzaville was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. Upon independence in 1960, the former colony of French Congo became the Republic of the Congo.

WOWZA! Special thanks to my adventurous classmate who was in Congo and
found this beautiful tree postcard from. So happy to receive this safely here
The 137th country! Doing the Congo line dance now! (although the dance originate from
Cuba haha!)
