Helpfulness
The eruption and the aftermath have been recorded on videotape, partly from the ground partly from helicopter.
It's a copy of an amateur video, so quality is not like BBC, but it's still worth watching/buying.
You may also be allowed to watch the video in the shop if you're not fancy to buy it. The owner is very friendly and eager to tell about everything concerning Goma.
Besides, the shop has a huge collection of Congolese musictapes, ranging from traditional to modern ragga/rap style.
The shop is really worth a visit!!!
What to pay: The videotape (VHS) should cost $8 - $10; musictapes <$1
