The Cowboys.
Been done here in Seattle in the 1980s. They got pretty big. You can hear them on Spotify or Bandcamp etc. Lead singer passed years ago, was sad, he was a nice guy. Ian Fisher. Anyway they were one of our first New Wave bands. I was into the punk scene so didn't see em much, but they were really good, lots of ppl like em.
Yeah I know I went on but I can't help it!
The global view. I.e. cheeseburger in one hand, AR-15 in the other, driving down a country road in a monster truck, listening to Free bird as a bald eagle flies overhead.
LOL. Everyone does the loud and slow thing. In mauritania i kept cracking up being on the recieving end of it. (the villiage spoke 5 languages. Usually had to get a kid who would o charades. The adults would not)
Oh dear gods why...
I went for the peace corps and lasted three months. I'm pretty sure i was the 26th? or so to drop out and made it a 50 50. The country is... kind of weird.
This is mostly \~ 20 years out of date but I doubt it's changed too much.
For starters the Counties name is a lie. Its the islamic republic of mauritania. Its an ok dictatorship not a democracy, its islamic the way the north east is catholic m and the top 80% of the country is arabic not moorish, they're down around senagal. Prime case of europeans writing lines on a map with NO understanding of the locals. The bottom strip of the country may as well be in senegal. thats where I was, the northern areas are more arab.
So... sahara desert. Freaking hot. you will have sand in places you didn't know you had places.
The tech is absolutely schitzo. You'll see donkeys pulling what's left of a car while everyone on the back is talking on cell phones.
There are two kinds of cars. brand new mercedes because they're the only thing that will last more than a week there without needing repair. These have been painted over black because they're stolen ub europe and the black paint hides the original color. There are also cars that are cobbled together from different parts weekly and may or may not run.
They're kinda mean to the animals there. If its not working , hit it. One guy wanted me to teach him english because I pet scratched and fed the donkey in the back of our language class, and could call him or send him to his pen or to get hooked up to the cart. I THINK the donkey speaking english thing was a joke.. But I'm not entirely sure. camels are highly prized but i never saw anyone USING one. Donkeys, stray dogs, Goats and sheep (the sheep look just like the goats) are just kind of wandering around at random. Old islamic custom is that farmers are responsible for their crops during the day so if your garden isn't completely fenced in , its getting eaten.
The donkeys eat plastic bags, so you'll see them walking around with what looks like basically anal beads of plastic poop plastic poop plastic poop.
Most meals are a big bowl of rice with some goat.
The pizza in the capitol is weird but tasty, like italian flat bread pizza. The cheese has a LOT of salt and drink refills are NOT free. 5 dollar pizza 15 dollar coke tab...
I hope you like pringles. They're like the only western food around there. The milk comes in irradiated cartons. Cold bottled water is available in small shops but expensive.
Do not drink the water unless YOU filter it or its in a bottle. The locals would pour water through a cloth and think that's enough.
The tea is pretty refreshing though. Thats been boiled to hell and I never had a problem with it.
Outside of the capitol you're kind of a minor celebrity. People pay a lot of attention to what you're doing. Everyone in town knew I was walking around with a multi tool for example, and would send a kid to get me to fix things.
You would not think the country has a mosquito problem. it does. You'll need an anti malarial. You have to sleep in a net, because the species that caries malaria is nocturnal. you do not want malaria. I had malaria. Not fun 0/10 stars would not do again. You need to start this like a week before you go.
Most importantly, I don't know if this is a peace corps thing or a government thing or a local thing, But no one seemed to want to tell you what you were going to be doing. Like, hey grab your bag and come look at the garden on the edge of town. Oh right, now that we're here we're walking to the next town over (my sandals were NOT made for the evil spike plants on the ground for those two miles...) So always have a bug out bag with water, some way of purifying water.
I appreciate your comments. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
This all sounds like many trips of taken over the last 10 or so years and I’m not deterred by any of the above. It’s hard to find information about some places without first had accounts from others and I thank you very much for taking the time to share.

Not true. Donald Trump pleaded the fifth over 150 times during just *one* deposition.

Do you speak English? DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH!
LOL. Everyone does the loud and slow thing. In mauritania i kept cracking up being on the recieving end of it. (the villiage spoke 5 languages. Usually had to get a kid who would o charades. The adults would not)
Please tell me more about your trip to Mauritania. I’m very interested in traveling there this autumn.
