And at the airports try not to make eye contact with the armed security they will sometimes hassle you if you do. make sure too that you don't carry any valuables or any of sentimental value to you because everything is fair game to the custom agents. Don't drink the water either!!!!!!!! don't even put ice in your drinks. I have had first hand experience in some of these West African countries and if I had to choose between having a job and going back. I would be first in line to the unemployment line I will never go back ever again just too many bad experiences. I mean if you have to take that many shots to go somewhere then you just are not meant to be there. And don't shake hands either some of them don't use toilet paper they just use their hand. Also I can and always wil remember the smell of those places especially Nigeria and Angola you will never forget the smell. Just my 2 cents on these places. GOOD LUCK
you are right about the smell. it's just a nasty a$$ place.
