(Africa trip) Commentary on international air travel

It is an absolute wonder to me that anyone manages to fly to and from a third-world international airport. I have rarely witnessed the sort of disorganized chaos that I saw at the Nairobi International Airport when trying to check in. It was noisy and smelly and chaotic in a way that I've never seen at a US airport, even when traveling on holidays. And since the airport trip was followed by a flight on an ancient, poorly maintained turbo-prop, we had quite the interesting morning of travel. It was so worth it, though.

I'll post some stuff about Tanzania soon. It's just truly amazing.
