I was a Peace Corps volunteer from 1968 to 1970 in Sierra Leone. Your wonderful descriptions bring back many fond memories. What the War did to this proud (and wonderful) country hopefully can be reversed by the work your are now involved in. Keep up the good work. My wife pointed out your website.

But if it makes you feel better, in some places in the Dominican Republic it is like that, and most only take bribes. Of course unless your a drug dealer and know someone up the ranks... but they take bribes too >.< Haha I had to laugh in regards to Denice comment.

Imaginate que hace una semana estuve en una discusión sobre Afro-Colombianos y resulta que unos inversionistas extranjeros estan "invadiendo" las tierras colectivas de los negros en el Chocó para cultivar o procesar este mismo aceite de palma. El gobierno, obviamente, no se ha pronunciado para nada... después me cuentas más sobre este proceso allá. Abrazos. Que increible Mario!

The weirdest part is how easily you get used to it! You still haven't been to Moyamba!
