You Know You Are Riding in Africa if.....

I just heard an advertisement for tires which is funny and very realistic:
"You know you are riding in Africa if: 

• You are driving on the shoulder or made a new lane because there are too many pot holes.
• When you go to visit grandma you have to park 2km away because the muddy roads are impassable.
• When you have a flat at midnight you cringe as the spare you are carrying is completely bald."

 And I thought I'd add a few of my own

• You are passing/overtaking and your car runs out of gas in the oncoming lane.
• The 14 passenger vehicle you are in has 27 passengers.
• The smell of fumes is so bad in the vehicle that you have to hang your head out the window like a dog for fresh air and the hope that if the car does explode you might have a chance of surviving.

 If you have been to Africa share some of your experiences!
