A lot of information and personal stories have been passed on this thread. "Thanks for the read." I'm not currently working in Africa, although I have worked in several countries on the eastern and western side. My question is are most of you ready to leave? Like anyone who has been in Africa, I find myself looking in that area for work again. There is still oil inland and off-shore, and dispite the economy, lots of consumers around out there. How do the lot of you feel when getting ready for your next tour? Still worth it?
