Kinshasa nearly exclusively...I've been once out to Bas-Congo / Kongo Central, but I'm nearly always in the capital. A side benefit as a Canadian working in francophone Africa is that the likelihood of Canadians on the project is much higher than elsewhere!
That's interesting that you found that. I think Brits must feel the same in terms of sports - the number of Man United fans in Africa is mindblowing.
