Alright, not trying to hijack this forum but I'm relatively new to the continent and have more things that make me laugh to share...So you know you're in Africa when your "professional" driver has less aptitude behind the wheel than you did as a teenager. When you get excited that you have Internet and working tv. When you have to look at your currency to remember what country you're in. Al Jazeera news is a viable and informative channel selection. The water in your room is hot enough to scald(when it works) and your monthly laundry bill is more than the average yearly income of most people in the country you're in. You have to ferry 1500 miles to fix anything more complicated than a tire change. You have adopted primitive sign language for most communication outside of the cockpit. "what you mean stabilized approach?". Diesel fumes and body odors don't bother you anymore. No one gives you dirty looks when you smoke in a restaurant. You can name the local beer of at least 10 different countries on the continent but can't remember who the vice president of your own country is. Your fellow countrymen irritate you if they're not pilots and try to talk to you at the hotel bar(especially if they don't have boobs!). Okay, that is all!!!:-). Take care everyone!
