I know it is dangerous and I am white, but I mean, how dangerous can it be if you live and work there and are a part of it?

There's a certain naivety about this question that is unexpected coming from you. Then again, I guess most Americans have a very poor understanding of how societies work on other continents, perhaps least of all in third world African countries.

Don't do it unless you're streetwise and not the kind of person who is easily taken advantage of.

Are some African countries better for this than others? I mean, Africa is a big place. There must be a lot of variation.

Yes, of course. Generalizing massively, the further south you go, the better things get, with South Africa being the most advanced.

That's pretty odd. I wonder what makes South Africa more advanced? It's almost like a real country 🤔
