So, last weekend, after stopping at the crocodile lake, we arrived at the village of Boali and it’s attendant waterfall. The view and the place were absolutely beautiful. Honestly, it’s definitely the nicest thing I’ve seen here: very peaceful, the people were nice, and there was also no one there even though it’s a dyed in the wool tourist attraction. Well, that’s not entirely true: there were two other Chinese tourists . . . but even still, basically no one.
Boali is basically the source for all the power in CAR as well. There are two hydroelectric powerstations there: Boali 1 and Boali 2. Boali 1 only has one hydroelectric turbine out of 3 that works and Boali 2 has no turbines that have ever worked (i.e., it has never, ever, generated any power at any point ever). Nevertheless, Boali 1 (which is visible in the later part of the video) is a very pretty building, even if it basically serves no purpose.
