House keeping.

Before you ask and to avoid misunderstandings.

I am not in Africa. I am in West Africa and I am writing this a restaurant called Portsmouth in Le Riviera 2, Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Africa is too vast to call traveling around one of four regions that make up the continent being in Africa. That statement also distances South Africa from Africa. Of course I have issues with any discourse that puts barriers between us, see the 'about me box' on your left.

However, blogs need names that will roll off the tongue when spoken of . A name also needs to be easily recalled after first being heard of over cocktails, tea, in passing etc. Hence Boogyinafrica. My only consolation is that the law of speaking into teh future allows me such a grand claim. I want to see as much of Africa as possible, Ishallah, rebels, generally corrupt goverments and money willing.


Another thing, I welcome suggestions and ideas. However, I do DO NOT AT ALL appreciate people who think I should be doing this trip they way the would. If you are one those, who find my account boring, tame and not as xxx rated as you would like, book your own journey around here. Otherwise, feel free to ask me questions, drop suggestions and even rumours about what you hear about this side of Africa.


I want to broaden the experience, so if you you know something you would like to share, if you have a West African dream (maybe you want to club hop in Lagos, sip mint tea on the banks of the Niger) holler about a doable west African experience and I will see about letting you live it through me. At no cost to you. Because I am already here and so many have used envy, living through you etc to express how pro thsi expeirence they are. Also, if you have a FAMILY FRIENDLY; ask, whatever positive spin, story, idea you have, travel related tips you have, please. Share.

Hugs
