Thanks for your today's travel log !!! 👍👍👍 🔥🔥🔥

{...avoid investing in any country with the color green in its flag...two republics featuring verdant hues in their national banners. Each offers ample reason to heed Casey’s advice...} 🤣🤣🤣

Investments are mostly done for two reasons: financial profits (either short- or long-term) for future, undefinded goals, or (almost) instant PEACE in one's daily life, THE long-term investment that really counts once you consider our current world gone mad.

{...ubiquitous potholes, which in most places were more prevalent than pavement...} Did you know that, once they surpass a certain size, the locals assign them names ??? ... 🤣🤣🤣

Once you made the proper investment, bad terrestrial connections become mostly irrelevant, whatever you need for your peaceful life will be readily available at a walking distance ... 🔥🔥🔥

{...The worst governments would be ruthless regimes run by brilliant psychopaths with powerful tools and elite capabilities..} Thanks very much for your brilliant, euphemistic description of current Western regimes !!! 👍👍👍

{...Fortunately, that combination is relatively rare...} Rare in Africa, unfortunately ubiquitious in the West, almost w/o exemption and getting worse by the day ...

Due to the above, investments in countries brandishing verdant-flags should be reconsidered VERY seriously !!!

{...I paid a third-party a couple hundred bucks to obtain Tanzanian visas...} It's THEM who "design & run" the websites ... 🤔🤔🤔 Smart people, isn't it ??? ...

Yes JD, I sent my daughter to Kenya with UNC a few summer ago, to work with orphaned and sick children. It was a wild and life changing experience for her, and she definitely needed the Yellow Fever Vaccine.

She kissed the ground when she returned home off the plane, and It gave her a very positive perspective on her life in America, and has since learned to appreciate everyday for the gift of being born here:)

Curious why you didn't start your African adventure in South Africa. Their bureaucrats are well tuned to foreigners who want to visit the wilds of Africa (which really means nearby countries).

Great phrase too: "But like wasabi with sushi, the mix and amount determine the discomfort they cause." So true, so true.
