I'm trying to write something positive or good about Africa, but I just can't...

I'm trying to write something fun or funny about this trip, but I just can't...

The best thing I can think of, from being in Nigeria is that you get to watch football  matches from Europe at 7 PM, instead of 2 in the morning, and that's about it...

What good is a football match, if you are watching it with empty stomach? What fun is a movie if you don't have any chips or cokes to eat and drink? I think the major problem is the food shortage. You just can't laugh when you are hungry.

When you are hungry, and deprived of food, you can't think happy thoughts or make funny jokes... You can't think of anything beyond your stomach...

All I can think of right now, is food. Quality food. Clean food. Tasty food... Food that I can choose... Food that I can pick out of a hundred different foods... Food, not just to ease the hunger, but food to enjoy...

The previlege that we have in Thailand is so great... You can eat just about any food in Thailand... Thai food, Japanese food, Chinese food, Italian food, Fast food, Junk food... The problem we have is that we have TOO much food to choose from...

How often do you get headache because you don't know what to eat for dinner? How many times do you disagree with your friends over where you are going to dine? It's just crazy...

When I go back to Thailand, I'm going to eat, eat and eat... I don't care about the hungry people in Nigeria. As long as I get to eat whatever I want, as much as I want, I'm happy. At first, I was like,

"Oh... look at these poor people... with not enough to eat... What can I do to help?"

But now, I'm thinking,

"Forget it. I'm saving my own ass now..."

I know I'm just writing nonsense and just bitching about my hungry stomach, but that's what happens when you are hungry... Ah.... glorious food... When will we meet again?

Right now, food has taken over the top spot for 'Things I miss the most.'

It used to be my wife and kids, but now, it's food. Quality food. Tasty food... Steak... juicy, fat, medium cooked steak... fillet mignon... pasta... wine...

Give me food, and I will do anything. I understand the story 'Les Miserables' SO MUCH BETTER now...

My rant can go on forever, but I have to save energy... typing is too energy consuming at this moment. I'm going to bed... at least I can dream about food...

What will I eat for dinner tonight? Fried rice and fried chicken. The fried rice is actually pieces of rice (broken rice) fried in some grease... the chicken? It looks more like rubber tire. Vegetable? Non-existant. Taste? Who cares?
