Sure various regions of Africa have their problems, but so do a lot of other countries too. Need I remind that approximately 30 people die every day in the United States as a result of gun violence, and the country experiences some of the worst racial and gender prejudices of our time. Yet everyone wants to travel to America, the land of the "free" - the Brand USA tourism campaign makes sure of it. The United States has the world's highest incarceration rate - double that of South Africa - so who is the more troubled and dangerous region now?
Some guy plans to travel Africa in modded Jeep

Just for ****s and giggles, I looked up the murder rates for the US and SA. SA is nearly an order of magnitude worse.

holy crap that is one of the dumbest things ive ever heard, yet i know tons of people believe it. I'm not saying the US doesnt have any racial issues, you bet we do. But the african nation i live in is full of racial strife that we dont even come close to touching. I know of a woman whose husband was of a different people group. One day he just up and decides he no longer wants to be married to a woman of a different ethnicity, divorces her, and marries someone from his own group. as bad as tensions seem to be in the states, you dont see stuff like that, and thats not even a violent or political example.
Plus there aren't parts of the US where albino people are being hunted and consumed as some sort of misguided cure-all or gain super powers from their albino bodies. Yeah America is the effed of area of the world.
We also don'the have a nation where there are 250+ different village languages (looking at you Nigeria). Not knowing the language could get you into trouble real quick. Don't forget about the religious group who has no qualms about kidnapping a whole school of girls because they are of the "wrong" religion.
I'm torn. I no longer know which of these two chodes I dislike the most.
Who would have thought just a few short months ago that anyone could have been more annoying, naive and utterly clueless than Dan? Then Emily pops into the picture and I find myself in a quandary.
Is he dead yet?

The constant heckling by "guides" starts to wear me down. Since Morocco every time I step out of the Jeep I'm surrounded by people insisting they are part of a "Community Development Fund" or a "Co-operative" and it's mandatory that I pay them to be my guide. It doesn't matter how many times I say no thanks, or how many times I insist I just want to walk around quietly by myself. Inevitably they follow me tirelessly, the entire time talking extremely loudly at me. Eventually when we return to the Jeep the demand comes for money, and it's always "pay what you want", which is of course never enough, and there is a lot of guilt thrown my way.
I wish I could be left in peace, though I understand that is simply not going to happen for the next many months of my life.

I feel sorry for all of Africa, no matter how bad their issues are, because they are going to be taken down by the plague of stupid that Liar Dan and Hoofed Emily have started in Morocco and now spreading south. Even though that moose is no longer on the continent, she still infects them with her typing.
When are we allowed to unleash TexAgs fury on them?
The hoofed millennial social justice warrior and self proclaimed aficionado of traditional African clothing and fashion needs to be put in her proper place.

Looks like Dan was starting to get beat down by his first taste of what the REST of the continent will feel/look/smell like. I see he decided to stay a few days at his "campsite" which based on the fact that it's clean and there is no one there, I can only assume is behind a gate, probably with armed security.
PS, I ate the fish. Live a little, Dan.

I drove by the African safari animal zoo south of Franklin the other day. That means I've seen more of Africa than good ol Dan.

My mom's from Africa. I saw more of Africa before I was born than he has seen his entire life.
Sidebar from Dan's adventures but these two ladies just died at a resort over there. My neighbors are super close to the family and I hung out with them a few times the last time being Thanksgiving. They were super pumped about this trip and its all they talked about. It will be interesting to see if they figure out what happened to them. Super sad.

Dead at a $2000 per night resort?!? No signs of violence. Hmm...
