I hear Mogadishu is quite nice...

Naaah Karachi is much nicer and almost as dangerous.

I remember a stopover in Brazzaville in the Congo and whilst sitting on the plane being sprayed with insecticide there was a small boy outside sitting on the wing with an AK47 staring at us.


Lovely place ... must come back again

Stopped in Harare on way from JoBurg to Lilongwe when the farm evictions were happening.

tulipting my pants until I realised that we weren't getting off the plane...

Nobody in their right mind holding pounds would bring them to Oz now. You won't buy much house for 1 million sterling at today's exchange rate. Modest 3 bed semi in a reasonable suburb.

Was that during the civil war? Apparently it's improved a lot recently and people from Kinshasa go across there in the evening and at weekends as it's more peaceful; could turn into quite a cool place. Same guy who told me about it says even Kinshasa's looking better with all the investment going into it and well worth visiting for 'seasoned Africa travellers'. Probably still not for the faint hearted though.

True, but then sasguru bought his house in Surrey at the peak and his villa in Portugal when the euro was the strongest currency around.



Now he's looking at Oz when the pound is at it's lowest level since 1592.

Really, Dim, someone living in crap house in Swindon shouldn't really mock, don't you think?
Life is for living and enjoying which is why my decisions are made as they are. If I waited for the "right" time to do everything I'd end up like you and AtW

Good reasons not to listen to the lad.

I was there when it was still called Salisbury on the way up to the Wankie National Park. Some Dutch friends had bought a load of gold mines nearby and we were off to visit them. Tried to drive over the road-railway bridge into Zambia and were stopped by soldiers halfway across and told to go back. Nearly as scary as being in the middle of a civil war in Nigeria and having to sleep in the hallway as that was the only place without windows...
