I had made many more friends in just 6 years in Africa than I had
the 24 in Detroit and since my siter had started a family I
decided to stay. I have no regret leaving the USA.
Its not until you have spent a few years away from the USA
that you realize just how racist and violent it really is.
I have never been so happy. I doubt I will ever return.

it is interesting that you say that, coming from SA ("crime capital of the world"), you mind elaborating on that?
i've been planning on leaving since college, even considered getting my masters in cape town. so far, though, i have only traveled to other countries and not settled.
