houses made of upright sticks with no wood, on clay & mud floors. A family of 3 lives in a 10'x10' stick arrangement. The arrangements stretched for miles. At least 100,000 people must have lived in it. Made Favellas look like fucking Suburbia.
They couldn't take all their trash for the city everywhere so they just made a giant landfill outside the city. Then they bulldozed part of the ladfill to put a road through it. Old trash would fall onto the highway. Saw a dude pissing onto the highway from the landfill because all of his fucks had gone to die already.
It was a formerly communist country (how did you guess?) that endured a brutal civil war, the main bridge had been mortared and was inaccessible for the past 15 years, I'd say 30% of the population had blown off limbs from land mines, and probably 30-40% of the population must have had AIDS. Including the children who were born with AIDS because their mother was also infected with AIDS.
I'm proud of those "water-dogs" though. They spent 48 straight hours building a water filter that turned alligator creek water into 150,000 gallons of fresh, potable, water: free for anyone who asked.
Africa doesn't want them back.
Also, any that you'd import would be alright for one or two generations, and then devolve into welfare parasites or criminals afterwards.
Africa: "We have real problems"
Having been to a few third world countries, yeah. Really puts things into perspective.
I saw a real slum in Africa, once.

Some Africans are *eating *clay now.
I wouldn't blame communism on that one, there are plenty of African countries that weren't ruled by communists and still shit
That's why they were selling them so cheap.
