Chris,
You missed another apparent great advantage of living in Africa. It
would seem that a significant portion of your country are
multi-millionaires. I base that on the now almost weekly e-mails both
Kristi and I get, un requested, offering us 20% of their estate if we
will serve as their contact in the States and help them transfer their
$10, 20, 30+ million. Lot of death though in your country, as each
e-mail starts off with "My (dad, mom, cousin, etc.), just died and left
me a bundle,,,,,
*S*
