Rwanda: What can I feel about this destination? It was quite one of the most interesting trips I've ever taken. I only got to appreciate it when I got back but better late than never right?! The weather was really nice and most people I've met were nice. Lots of them seem to keep asking me to live there...nah I wouldn't live anywhere else in this world. Bangkok has everything :)

Lots of stuff are overpriced for foreigners. The best thing you can do is walk away and they will agree to the price you want.

Learning about genocide definitely broke my heart and made me wanted to leave the country as soon as possible because I started to miss home :)

Last visit to Rwanda: Dec 2004

It's fantastic that you found your way to Rwanda. We just watched the film 'Hotel Rwanda' & were touched by what we saw. You truly have experienced Africa! You're a top traveller that's for sure!
