I'm going to be working with a church there for about 3 months.

Yes I'm genuinely looking for advice.

Thanks

Here's what you 100% need, if you don't have it, it's probably going to be a bad experience for you.

1) Gun
2) Gun experience at gun range - You might get robbed or killed or both -
3) Mosquito net
4) Bribe Money
5) A LOT of vaccines.
6) Strong stomach.
7) Paranoia, don't trust the local people, you might get kidnapped! Know who your contacts are
8) Have Jack Baur's number on speed dial (srs)

Okay last ones a joke, but the other ones are definitely true.

I want to Morocco it was very cool to see the Sahara, I also went to South Africa. SA kicks ass i went there in 2008 and it was a real baller trip. I went on a rugby tour with 55 other guys and we went out partying a lot, played 3 rugby games (SA is the world champion so Rugby is huge there) and trained almost everyday and had the time of our lives. It was one of the best trips in my life. SA really surprised me how similar it was in some things to England and it has amazing landscape and really great chicks.
But yeah be careful with AIDS, remember you can pay less for anything that is in a market so try to get a good deal out of anything that is sold on the street. Be careful with the beggars and steer away from the dope dealers.
