    I really enjoyed this video. My first trip outside of Canada was to Uganda (I was crazy) and I saw tons of things that really... changed my worldview and my life in many ways. The people were also just simply the best, so friendly and welcoming, inviting me into their homes. Lots of memories I'll never forget, like holding an AK-47 while our guide forded us across a muddy river filled with crocs (first time I've held a firearm!), being told life jackets only drag out your inevitable death on a boat since the crocs or hippos will kill you, best take your chances trying to swim to shore or drown quickly... and I could go on.
    Uganda is always in my heart, and even seeing this video like a 13 years after I was there it's changed so much.

      I found the same in Malawi, though also there's the element that they see you as a white guy as also having money = maybe they can get something. But yes, Africans are friendly. Bit different in South Africa, where there is a lot of anger and hatred, also a lot of using people and selfishness, but I find people generally get along until the government and media stoke up flames.

    This is one your best videos. 34:37 I love the kids singing and dancing. I was in awe of their wonderful, infectious spirit. I wonder what the song was they were singing? It's fantastic and mesmerizing.
