World’s thinnest wallet?
A coworker showed me a Christmas present he just got. It’s a very very thin wallet. They laid out four ‘card’ pockets next to each other, used really thin and strong material and made the edges very thin. They even have a traveler’s version that has a large pocket for your passport and (if you’re in Congo-Brazzaville) your Carte de Cooperant or other large ID. This is going on my list.
The most surprising part is the folded up dimensions are the same as my current wallet. It’s just designed to hold a lot more.

I like how you make us auto-censire our comments by that statement; very clever. Anyway, I really liked this post. I think for the amount of money people have in Congo, that is exactly the type of wallets people should have.

I was thinking more of ex-patriots who have to carry around lots of ID documents, of course.
The self-censuring statement you’re referring to, for those who haven’t left a comment here is:
and came with the template I’m using for this site.
Also, I noticed your interest in Congo Democratique, so I’ve changed my category to Congo-Brazzaville.
Thanks for reading.

Thank you for the response. I wanted to say however, that although yes, I am from the DRCongo, living in the US, I lived in Brazzavile 2 years, as an expatriate (my mother works for WHO, and used to work as a Regional adviser at the African regional Office of WHO, which is in Brazzaville). Plus we speak the same languages, and descend from the same peoples and kingdoms, so I cannot help but to be interested in their fate too. That goes for Africa too, and the World even
. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, down there in Virginia. Thank you for posting.

I could use a thinner wallet, mine has a tendency to wear holes in the pockets of my slacks.
