You know you're in Africa when:
it sucks ass bad enough in a certain country's capital that when the starter fails, you just ferry out on a single engine, and windmill-start the other one. (wasn't me).....(Nouakchott)
you can carry a meter-long souvenir scimitar & tooled-leather scabbard through airports around the western half of the continent without it being remarked upon.
crewmembers have a fever and go to the hospital/medical clinic "emergency room", and upon arriving, decide they aren't really that sick and go back to the hotel.
they're calling peanuts "groundnuts".
you can fly over land on a clear day for two hours at .84M without visible signs on the ground that Earth is inhabited.
