This. I tried (and failed) to build an export business out of Uganda. I am sure that somehow, somewhere somebody will make a fortune - but it wont be easy.

Happened to my fiancé(wife) and I flying to our own wedding.

We did the same thing when we lived in Uganda. Most westerners staying in the country for more than a few months stop taking anti-malarials.

However most places where the expats live have access to antibiotics and to at least 1 or 2 Western (usually British) Doctors/Nurses.

I am the same way. I also graduated from the University of Michigan which has a great sports program, so this is usually the ice breaker in interviews, meeting with clients etc.. when they see my resume. I usually bow out and change the subject quickly.

I enjoy talking politics as well, but in many ways is just as pointless and arbitrary..."my side of the aisle is better than yours". When your presidential candidate makes a goof he is an idiot, when mine does it he is misunderstood.

They have a negative cash conversion cycle - Dell mastered this in the late 90's.
