News near Madagascar

Awww, my friends are so sweet! Received this article today.

Oh, also found out if I didn't take this Madagascar assignment then Cameroon was the next option which was on my do not travel list because the American Red Cross bans donors who have been to said country. Thank Buddha I didn't have to make that decision! I'll take a war over that.

PS Quelle bizzare. We had the time change here in France yesterday, and it's still light outside at 20h!

I'm glad you didn't go to Cameroon. My cousin was there with the Peace Corp 15 years ago and had a bad experience. I've heard it's still quite dangerous and corrupt there.

Of the countries I was eligible for Madagascar is the safest. I would have declined an invite to Cameroon, which would have pushed my departure date back several months assuming they would even issue a second invite. Also, being between two of the most dangerous countries in Africa, Congo and Nigeria, scares the sh*t out of me.
