Tourist activities were expensive. The gorilla viewing was $750, much higher than in Uganda or the DRC (the section of the DRC with the gorillas is definitely not recommended going to). In Kigali, locations regarding the genocide are a must

Bags, definitely bags: http://i.imgur.com/W1hL4Tx.jpg I only saw them in East Africa. The streets were littered with them. Very cheap and poor tasting. Basically ethanol and flavoring. Konyagi & juice. Disgusting, but I

If you are still reading these comments, why Zimbabwe in particular? Nothing wrong with the country, but most landlocked countries do not attractive to much attention.

Cleanliness had a different meaning over there. Everyone's house and place of business was very clean. Spotless. However, they would simply sweep up everything and put it out on the street. As long as it was not in there house, it was

It did not realize the website already calculated that number. My combined number is 159, an increase of only 3 from my third ranked passport.

I must mention that I did not go to Kenya or other neighboring countries. I started my trip in Uganda and worked my way down. The difference between Rwanda and Uganda/Tanzania as an outsider is immense. The roads are in good condition

I could talk a lot about Africa. Loved it. Everything is off the beaten path, which is why I loved it. Outside of the known spots (Egypt and the northern countries, South Africa), there is no mass tourism. No bus loads of tourists that star

Paul Kagame's anti-corruption policies are impressive. You can really see how much society can change when funds flow to the proper channels. I have traveled through ten sub-Saharan countries and Rwanda does stick out. While many count

To be clear, the reviews were not negative. To me, they were too focused on details that did not matter IMHO. They were trying very hard to be foodies, missing the point of the food and the restaurant.

Lobster is another great example. It used to be a poor man's food and now it commands a high price.

I dislike the term "ethnic food" and foodie cultural in general when it comes to foreign food. There is a restaurant that I like to get my culture's home cooking. Nothing fancy, just home cooking. You do not even know it is a

I like how each function is contained in an individual plugin file. I can install (create a local script) which plugins I want without needing to install them all. Even if you do not want to install any of the code, it shows you the command

Tower Records is long gone (in the US), but Elton John was interviewed for the Tower Records documentary "All Things Must Pass". He states that he probably purchased more records there than anybody else (forget the exact quote). J

I do not think the issue is with the US, but with iphones. Every Android phone I have owned has always had an FM radio app.

I would not to say that online video is surging, more like it is being forced. Nowadays, it is difficult to read an article on a news site without having some associated video being autoplayed (with advertisement of course). I want to read

You are just doing it wrong. :) Since you ski, you probably mountain bike. Mostly downhill. Boring. I am a climber (road bikes of course). The longer the climb, the better. California has great climbs.

I live in LA (somewhat new, but I have been in CA for years), and I do not miss seasons at all. It has been many years since I have seen snow, and I plan to keep it that way. I cannot recall the last time I was in below freezing weather. I

Using emojis to extend the available character set is taken off. Technologies like the QR code did not catch on partially because they were co-opted by marketers. Is it emojis turn? http://emoticode.com/

How would the city even keep track of such one-off requests? There is no database for such minute details. It would need to be generic enough to fulfill any request, but also queryable to find specific information. Geologists have been keep

Even as de-sensitized as I am as an American regarding violent attacks, I found that being both shot and stabbed as incredibly excessive. The violence of both activities at the same time just demonstrates the pure hatred. RIP

I love this feature. Did not care for it at first, but I quickly learned to enjoy it. I never update software that works, so hopefully I will enjoy this functionality until my next phone.

The same can be said for "The Social Network". Granted, Facebook and Zuckerberk are for more mainstream than Theranos.

There was no change in focus per se. The company was an e-commerce site, and the parent company was going to simply be another vendor. They were using our in-house technology to power their external (to us) e-commerce presence, besides the

Do not use Instagram either, but for other reasons. :) I tried using Instagram. Downloaded the app and created an account. It promptly emailed everyone in my address book notifying them that I created an account. Deleted the app and my acco

"After all, Twitter is a great big, public conversational platform — the fact that you could follow chats between other users you cared about was part of its draw." Insane. For me it is the complete opposite. Having to read a pers
