One more interesting note on Traveling in Africa… when we were at the airport in Senegal, on our way back to Sierra Leone, we were very impressed. The local people were running the airport, things were clean, they were efficient for the most part, and they gave the impression of high security.
I say, they gave the impression of high security, it's because when we went through security they actually had a metal detector and an x-ray machine (something they don’t have in Sierra Leone), but as we put our stuff into the x-ray machine, the three security guards didn’t even glance up at us from their newspapers. So they can say that ever bag that goes on the plane went through the metal detector, but I could have brought ANYTHING in the world on that plane and no one would ever have known. We just had to cross our fingers that we would be safe…but that’s Africa for you.
