There are a few rules I have learned in Africa:
1. In Africa, you musn't be in hurry and under stress because of the unponctualiaty. It is useless. The perception of the time is totaly different from the perception in Europe.
2. Do not plan to much. Prepare yourself for the fact that you cannot follow any exact schedule. Be open and flexible, let the things happen and be ready for adjusting your plans.
3. African people sing and dance almost all the time. Late in the night, very early (if it is Sunday in the town - day of the mass), during your visite in the village... The best thing is to start dancing with them.
4. If you are white, it means you are rich (= you have a lot of money). Do not try to contradict it.
