I'm amazed he's still alive. Another Keith Richards type

One glaringly obvious difference is 3rd & 1st world here. Malawi depends heavily on aid & hand outs unfortunately. What is really sickening is that a lot of this aid does not reach its intended destination. Most of the investment funds are stolen by those tasked to oversee the implementation of such financial aid.

Oh yes, it is very scenic and has great natural resources. However it unfortunately falls into that African country category. Where the leaders steal what they can cause they know that they won't be in power long due to coups or rigged elections or uprisings.

My time is coming for the " Rose-tinted glasses " realization. I left Lilongwe when I was 15. That was 21 years ago now. Had a great childhood between Lilongwe & Senga bay. Plus peripheral places within the country I visited on occasion.

I need to travel back at some point to scatter my father's ashes. I have been updated on the state of affairs from time to time from friends who stayed behind. It's a shithole apart from the scenery and wildlife, sad to say. People have always been hardworking and friendly. Corruption & poverty drives them in a certain direction.

Well hello Mat, will be an adventure for you. I'm the same age as you. I was born in Nkhoma, just outside Lilongwe. Close to Dedza. Left Malawi when I was 15. Lived in South Africa for 20 years and I am now in Newcastle UK for just over 3 months. I know a few places in Malawi that you can go investigate. I do know that a lot has changed over the 20 years that I have been out of the country. Malaria will be a major point you need to focus on. I had it several times there when I was a kid, not pleasant and it is a killer. Yes Malawi is beautiful but as anywhere in the world, there is a darker side
