NYT: Rafting in Nile river
Uganda is a wonderful place to experience Africa — and rafting is just a piece of it.

I have a friend who a few months ago all of a sudden dropped his well organized and paid work in Germany and decided to travel for a while. I always admire people like him, those who just do what they feel is right for them and for the moment. Surely, if the world was full of them, probably our lives would be quite hard. Imagine if all of us all of a sudden decide to drop work and start hanging around (something that maybe soon will become true, but due to external reasons such as the discharge of personnel in -some- companies).
