Kinigi: Football and Rwanda Bits. Feb 7 (cont’d) I returned from my gorilla trek to Kinigi. I love Kinigi. It is my favorite village of all of my African travels. As soon as I went to the market I ran into Theo. I wanted lunch so I brought him along. The tour guides from today had earlier told me to eat in the hotel where I am staying, saying it was the only safe place in town to eat. However,...
Kigali: African Nations Championship (CHAN). Jan 30 [su_quote]Well, that sure escalated and got out of hand… I ended up getting college frat boy wasted, but it sure was fun….[/su_quote] I checked out of my guesthouse and moved to Panafrican, which is the sports bar where I was last night and made friends with Joseph, the owner. He told me they also had rooms for around $10, which is half of the price I have paid for the previous two. I...

Popayán: My Hatred of Mass Tourism. July 8. Selfish girls piss me off. Well, selfish guys piss me off too but a selfish girl is more selfish than a selfish guy. She seems to expect more. When the football game has begun and you come to the hostel to meet your friend and I so that we can hurry and get to a television to watch the game and you show up late, make us wait longer so that you...
Rio de Janeiro Botafogo vs Flamengo. March 9. It was a lot of work to get Irmante moving today, as we did not get home until 6am, and the party was to start at 9am and go until 3pm. The Brazilians know how to party. They set alarm clocks to be able to get up in the mornings to party in the streets. There were to be 500,000 people at the Carnaval Monobloco Finale party and I was not missing...
