Football (Soccer) is a passion, with sports teams in every locality. A variety of other athletic or sporting opportunities exist locally (basketball, martial arts, volley ball and the like). Praia has a well-used arena and an outdoor stadium completed in 2000-01. There is little otherwise in the way of organized sports. Praia has an inexpensive tennis club, with 3 hard surface (cement) tennis courts. Courts can be hard to get during peak hours and weekends, and there is a nominal fee of 200 CVE per/hour for a court. There is a grassless golf course just outside of Praia that consists mostly of rock, scrub and sand, and which is a challenging physical trek.

The U.S. Department of State's Consular Information Program provides Consular Information Sheets, Travel Warnings, and Public Announcements. Consular Information Sheets exist for all countries and include information on entry requirements, currency regulations, health conditions, areas of instability, crime and security, political disturbances, and the addresses of the U.S. posts in the country. Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Public Announcements are issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term conditions overseas that pose significant risks to the security of American travelers. Free copies of this information are available by calling the Bureau of Consular Affairs at 202-647-5225 or via the fax-on-demand system: 202-647-3000. Consular Information Sheets and Travel Warnings also are available on the Consular Affairs Int ... [Read More]

Participating in MUN was worth my time. As a young boy in Form 2, I was really immature and not bothered to interact with others in such a broad and debative activity. I was not up for the research and hard work a delegate in the Model United Nations was expected to do. I would rather spend my time doing sports and hanging out with friends. But after joining MUN, my perspective of the program slowly changed. ... [Read More]
