Its interesting to read some of the comments left by readers regarding Andys travels. I just have a couple of comments.
1. In order to really understand Africa you must go there. It is completely different then what people think it is.
2. The way of life and mentality of the people there is almost opposite of what people in 1st world countries experiance. Life is soooo much simpler and slower paced.
3. I dont think Andy is making any racist remarks or anyone else for that matter. However we must accept the fact the fact they are different as is everyone else in the world. However if you have been to Africa you will know that Africans are very racist towards white people. Probabaly because of events in history but they are none the less and it is not pleasant.
4. Central African countries are not Paradise. They have other things to offer. Lets keep in mind the big picture. Andy is on a Round The World Trip, so it would be normal for him to pass through these countries.
5. Life can be quite mundane in these countries. There is not much to do unless you go sight seeing, drinking and hanging out with friends. Life is very slow paced.
6. I have been to the DR Congo for 6 months and I would not go back, but atleast I did go and saw what it was. Africa is like a lawless land living 50-60 years behind us.
Good luck on your travels Andy... Im sure a lot of people would love to do what you are doing... myself included :)
