I visited here because of its amazing architecture from hundreds of year ago in Shanghai. Now the next country I visited was Chad.The city is mostly mountainous such as the Tibesti Mountains that stretch across and dominate most of the country and is also surrounded by great deserts like the Sahara that covers almost all of Chad.

Also, the Central rains come through from June to September. In addition, while walking through some of the cities in the evening , I experienced cooler temperature and cooler climate. Some of the experiences i went on were Chad’s national museum because it took me through a historical journey of Chad. Also, I had gone through a safari experience in the “Zakouma National Park”,and went here because of its beautiful safari animals.

I chose to visit these countries because of their diversity in lush oasis and lakes , as

    When I moved to Africa, I was welcomed as a westerner. An American, as I am and I was treated unfairly for just that reason. At school I was completely excluded by the locals. I was seen as privileged, a privileged American who in essence "Had it All". One, who couldn't relate to what they were going through on a daily basis just as a means to survive. They were wrong. My parents both come from third world countries, from very little and with hard work, and against the odds became what they are today. I was raised on a specific set of teachings. To not ever take anything for granted. I am very lucky to be where I am today. One could say it is inherently difficult to fully understand what my peers were going through, as I am not in their situation…
