pole sana Africa
Yesterday I went to the library to check out books on various countries for some research I am doing. I asked for books on Spain, The Netherlands, Mexico, The Domincan Republic, Ghana and Tanzania. The librarian was going through her head and figuring out that they had all of those countries, except that "when it got to Africa, we kind of just ran out of money, so we have a book on African as a whole". She said it so nonchalantly, too. LIke, "no we don't have books on the rare tibetan caterpillar, or golfing in Antarctica, or COUNTRIES IN AFRICA". I was shocked, and yet it just seems so typical.
