Chinese restaurant
Which is the best Chinese restaurant in Kharotum?

Registering in Khartoum?
I'm planning to travel down from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum?

Does anyone know if I need to register with the authorities when I get to Khartoum?

Suakin
Has anyone been to this town, near Port Sudan.

I'm planning to travel to that part of the country for a week or so and want to know what it's like. Is it worth a visit? And I've been hearing lots of tales about demonic cats there - anyone else heard these stories? What are they about?

Thanks! Kristina

An EU club?
In Khartoum, I know the international club, the greek club and the german club. Someone told me yesterday about the EU club as well - but I can't find it! Anyone know anything of this?

Plane safety
I know, Sudan being Africa, planes are not likely to be as safe as in Europe. But, not being the best of flyers at the best of times, I am anxiously wondering: how safe are they?

I don't want to let a fear of flying ruin my enjoyment of the holiday, but I do have worries that I could be dicing with death should I board one.

Thanks for the advice

How expensive is Khartoum
Hi, I've just been offered a teaching post in Sudan for a year and really want to take it. But a friend of mine, who was in Sudan last year, says that the city is pretty expensive and my teaching salary ($1000 a month) is unlikely to be enough. Anyone have any views on how much I need to comfortably live in the city?)

Thanks in advance for the help

Number one must-see sight in Khartoum
Okay, let's start a bit of a discussion here...

I spent a year in Sudan (mainly Khartoum) a few years ago. The other night, out drinking with an old colleague of mine from the country, we got talking about what the best tourist attraction is in Khartoum.

I have my view... anyone else care to share theres?
