No one has added anything to this thread in four months! Are you kidding me? Come on guys!!! We HAVE to keep this one going, it's too good!
Okay, fine, I'll add something. So you know you're in Africa when you get your bags scanned in the x-ray machine and notice that there is only one "officer" manning the post and he's not anywhere near the display to actually "screen" your belongings. He asks you to look at the screen to examine your own bags while he stands on the other side of the secure area text messaging his girlfriend. Happened to me yesterday.
