Any updates on the situation in Angola? I would love to visit there.
Humans don't judge risks very well - there is always a bias against risks that we are not familiar with, even though those risks may be far smaller that the familiar ones we willingly and regularly take. (I know people who smoke, but are scared of eating beef for fear of CJD!).
If you don't go to the "dangerous" countries, then the landmines won't get you, and the soldiers won't shoot you, and the bandits won't murder you, and the malaria won't kill you. But instead you WILL suffocate on a chicken bone, get hit by a bus, die of a stoke, or, dammit, die of old age.
Adventurers we be.
Regards,
Michael...
