I have been enlightened.
I knew that there was more to Africa than what you see on TV but I was still surprised.
I guess you start to think thatch huts and loin clothes are the norm when thats all you ever see.
I also didn't expect all the signs to be in english.
Thanks for posting the pics.
I've got a few questions about a couple of them if your up for answering.
"Africa," of course, isn't one country. It's a continent with 53 countries that is three times the size of the entire US, including Alaska. Conditions and geography vary.
Despite the turmoil on a lot of the continent Africa is a very beautiful place. Many who have gone there over the centuries have chosen to stay. Lol When I was growing up I had a vision of Africa that was formed from Egar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan" novels, as a wild and magical place full of adventure and mystery. . Thats really pretty close...
''REAL AFRICANS' LOL you do know that white people live in africa and many were born there. And some of those pics were of cities in north africa like cairo. Where you are going to see what fat freddy calls arab looking people. Arab is not a race if you are thinking that it is. There can be darkskin, brownskin, and white arabs. Nice pics though
I think fat freddy needs to do some research & visit the continent.
How come most of the people in those pictures are White or Arab looking?
Where are the "real" Africans?
Most of the pictures were probably cities in South Africa, and North African countries. Some cities in other African countries would be Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Kinshasa, Lagos, Gabarone, etc.
Assuming you're referring to "Black Africans", because all of those people are technically real Africans.

Most American's seem to think that everyone one else is starving, has dirt floors, and no roads or tvs
In reality most countries have affluent and poor areas just like any city or state in the US. Parts of Lagos or Nairobi are as affluent as any place in the US. Other places are overcrowded slums that overflow with crime and disease.
