That was the "Reader's Digest" version. I could go on, but I've been home since May and my blood pressure has just started to come out of the red.
Most of the people were really nice, but that's really part of their culture, so I have a feeling they might ask "How are you, fine? Good. Your husband and family? Good. And the kids?" while they are hooking up the electrodes to your balls in the Abu Salim prison. Some of them stopped being my friend when I told them I couldn't get them a visa. Or an iPhone.
Honestly, living over there wasn't that bad, for Africa anyway. Had the co-pilots not been so
and the business side not been so
, I'd probably still be over there. If I had an opportunity to fly for Petro Air or Afriquiya, I might just do it for the right $, but not United.
