Foxflyer, I hope you were being sarcastic, but if you were not, I do not think it is fair to boldly make such a statement. Which part of Africa are you, and if so why are you in Africa if it is so unsafe? And if you are not in Africa, then how do you know about the security situation in Africa. I cannot stand people that bad mouth this place and all that just from hearsay.
Check this, there was that shooting down at Virginia Tech in the USA......33 dead in one morning. So shall we all stay away from colleges in Virginia because of that? Do not generalise for the whole of Africa because you surely have not been to every part of Africa. There are bad people and good people everywhere of every race. There are robberies in every city of the world, and there is all sorts of crime everywhere.
Shai2000, see you in Dar and good luck
peace out
