    I am USA, and I missed my grits, turkey bacon, corn meal, mustard greens in Acapulco. I am Muslim, so I do not eat pork or pork products, and I do not do drugs or drink. If you are a nice person, you will always RESPECT other cultures. I am loving learning how brown people report on all the places in the world.
    I know Africa from A-z, but Morocco and Zimbabwe, I know first hand. There are good and evil demons in all cultures, but I SMILE and drive them crazy. Put a d before anger, and you get danger. God loves all of us equally.

    Xavier, These are good interviews but I would like you to ask the guests about their livelihood and/or investment/employment opportunities in their new home countries. The almost temperate climate in the Kenyan Highlands caused the Europeans/British to settle. Your guest mentioned the "Luo" tribal group to which Pres Obama's late father belonged. Read up on the Kenyans' fight for independence!! You lost a great opportunity with the economist, in another East African country, who was ready to give substantial information.
