      Have you visited Nigeria or Pakistan?

        A nice beach will do wonders. Karachi is all right actually.

          Yep, not a bad place at all. Obviously there are grotty parts, and a lot of povery, but on the whole I'd say Karachi is quite worthwhile, especially if you have some friends there who'll show you around. Lagos IS a dump, although Victoria Island is OK as a stopover for a few nights, and if you get out of the city and learn something about the cultures it's OK too. Nigerians often have a fantastic sense of humour which makes up for a lot; they seem to get through their days by finding things to laugh about. So even in Lagos there are positives.

              This is what you can look forward to. ...
              So what do you think they can look forward to in Madeira, dummy?

              (and the hundreds of millions of people at equal or more tropical latutides elsewhere)

                  Yeah. Even in Treblinka there were positives too.

                  Pakistan is a failed state with nukes. No booze, no skirts, no music. Not to mention those blasphemy laws that make life there so worthwhile.

                  Nigeria, well, those emails I receive from time to time are really hilarious, yes. The downside about Nigeria is the population boom: they will
                  hit 450m by 2050. Some estimations even say 900m people. Get a good anti-spam filter.

                    Maybe Madeira isn't as boring as I first thought?

                      What, Karachi?
