Can’t wait to read this. Did he go through the Uige province? I remember they had an outbreak of a close cousin of Ebola shortly before I was there in the fall of 2005. ---

If you guys want more of this kind of reading give Jupiter’s Travels a shot. I think I read it about 15 years ago so I don’t remember much of it other than I like it.

It is stuff like this that truly makes you realize how minuscule your life and everything you know really is, on the entire map of things. There is so much shit out there, even in WNY that you haven’t experienced and never will. So much life to see and interact with and awesome shit to experience that sadly 99.99999% of us will never partake in. North America is absolutely the most boring continent on earth. Aside from Antarctica in all likelihood. It also goes to show that civilization is drab and tiring.
