Africa, Hello


I stayed at Africa continent for eight months and went to 20 countries from June 2017 to February 2018. What attracted me most was not safari hunting trips on the grassland of wild animal that most people dream about, but the people and their lives in Africa.

I want to live and make honey wine with them in Hamer tribe at Essey and braid their hairs. I want to wear hide and hunting with arrows that have venom on the tips with Bushman (which is the African tribe in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy) at Botswana. I want to stay with mountain gorilla for a few days at Rwanda instead of an hour. I want to tour around Madagascar with a bike because there are my favorite baobab tree and countless fascinating particular animals.

I think I need a new plan to go back to Africa.

Being surrounded by children at Kenya

I liked Africa braid a lot and did it a few times during the trip. People would look at it and take photos. The funniest thing was most Africans would touch my hair curiously and ask me if it was real hairs seriously. Yes, the Africans braid you see are mainly fake hairs so they admire us who can grow long hairs.

1.2 The barn of Berber tribe at Medenine Tunisia

  Ksar Medenine used to be the barn of the ancient Berber tribe.But it is famous around the world because it was used as a location for the science fiction film Star Wars: Episode I due to its bizarre construction. In the movie, it was the home of Anakin Skywalker which was also the gathering place for slaves.

3.Essaouira Beach at Morocco

Essaouira is known as the best place to watch the most beautiful sunset at Atlantic in Morocco, and it is equal to its reputation. Except for the sunset, the seafood was delicious and cheap here. A king crab was bigger than ones face only need thirty to forty RMB.

4.The shell fossils at the Sahara Desert, Egypt.

Echos book The Sahara Desert accompanied my youth, and I wanted to be close to Sahara no matter where. The most surprising place in the Sahara Desert, Egypt was where the shells from do not know how many hundred million years ago and I met. I was lucky to see the shell fossils and my eyes were teary with only one glimpse. Looking back at the endless sand sea, and I felt like that I had traveled back to hundred million years ago.

5.Volcano guardian with guns at Congo

Congo is at war all the time, so it is one of the high-risk countries. But I still went to this country for Nyiragongo volcano and stayed there for two days. To make sure the safety of foreign tourist, two armed guards would accompany you when you climb the volcano and chase mountain gorilla. Their guns are made in China.

6.The people of Hamer tribe at Ethiopia

Omo Valley at Ethiopia is one of the last gathering places of original tribes. The women of Hamer tribe are the most colorful ones. They only wear a skirt made of cowskin or sheepskin, wear colorful accessories made with jewels or shells and topless. They braid their hair into many little pigtails and smear mud made with beef tallow and red mud on their head. They are very exotic.

7.The little girl beside Malawi Lake at Malawi

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, but people here are very happy. You could see kids playing at the lakeside of Malawi Lake almost every day. They loved taking photos, and they were not afraid of cameras. Their innocence made each photo fantabulous.

8.A monkey teased a guy at Mauritius

There was a lovely monkey at Benitiers Island, Mauritius. It would interact with audiences to get a banana from its owner. It could sit on your head and make a funny face when you took pictures. It also could take money from your pocket and give to its owner. Sometimes it could drag the shorts of tourists down and see what color the touristsswimming pants are.

9.The bicycle driver who was trying to get a job at Malawi

The bicycle is the taxi in some poor countries in Africa. They would step the peddles very hard and take you to the place that you want to go. The expanse was so cheap which was unimaginable for Chinese ( unless they tried to rip you off.) This bicycle driver rode his bike madly to my side from a kilometers away to try to take me. Unfortunately, his competitor was a motorcycle driver, and my destination was five kilometers away and filled with gravels. I had to choose the motorcycle driver with guilt, and I could never forget the complicated yet simple look in the bicycle drivers eyes my entire life.

10.The maidens of Hamer tribe at Ethiopia

The women of Hamer tribe are pretty and have delicate facial features. Their qualities are better than women of other tribes as well, and they show a natural beauty of wildness. They are also very talented at making accessories and color matching creations. They spent more time on dress ups too.

11.The spring of jacaranda at Zambia

Jacaranda is a special ornamental tree of the Southern Hemisphere. It blossoms from middle September to the end of October. When it blossoms, many countries in Africa will be decorated into a blue-violet flower sea. When you are walking on the pavement, the violet flowers are above you, the violet carpets are under you, and the air is filled with the sweet odor of violet.

12.The flower children on a wedding at Uganda

I took a picture of the flower children on a wedding that I accidentally joined at Uganda, The children with dark skin, white dress and garlands were as lovely as angles.

13.The graffito of Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt

The Temple of Kom Ombo beside the Nile is the only symmetrical double temple. One side of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris which is also the god of justice, and the other side was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of the creator of the world. The temple was over 5000 years old.
