 Over the last couple weeks I had encounters with an American
 living in South Africa, an Australian, and an Egyptian. All in
 one group.

 The Egyptian is a grad student here at the University of Toledo.
 He talked of how every year he went back to Egypt for the summer
 break, and things were peaceful, then he came back here and all
 hell broke out over there. This year he decided to stay here to
 try to move up his degree completion, so naturally things went
 to hell there early.

 The American was asked if Americans were liked in South Africa.
 She said they were fairly well, because the US didn't colonize
 South Africa or the neighbors. All we did was send teachers and
 missionaries. Those missionaries were not backed by guns.

 The Australian is an executive with a statistical research firm.
 He paid for lunch. Nice guy.
