"Dental pkg arrived today, so looking forward to fixing my cap. Thanks." That was the e-mail message from my friend, James.
The package finally arrived on FEBRUARY 10, 2009. Remember it was shipped via US Express Mail Service on December 1, 2008. Of course, I thought it would arrive by Christmas. The post office clerk and I made sure it was clearly addressed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country was even highlighted in yellow.
Somehow the package was sent to the Republic of Congo, the smaller country whose capital is Brazzaville. It is located across the Congo River from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) whose capital is Kinshasa.
I need to give some geography lessons to somebody in these postal systems.
