Happiest country in the world and it's not CANADA :-(

In another list Tanzania is named as one of the worst. In another life I worked in Nyakato near Lake Victoria as a missionary. I lived with the poorest people and in the same conditions in a waterless corregated shack with little protection from the elements, the very dangerous insects or snakes. In the first 2 weeks there, I was in hospital 3 times with mozzy bites - they had bitten me so many times both my hands were so badly swollen my fingers looked like bananas. Each morning I woke and my first job was to clear up the dead mosquitoes I had to kill with my big cans of RAID the night before and I needed a dustpan as there were literally hundreds. All around me people were dying of AIDS and I helped bury so many - it is customary to dig your own graves there and then fill them in - we took turns with the spade.

Dysentery, malaria, malnutrition, gum disease, ulcers, boils, scorpions - the problems were endless but I never missed a class and worked around 14 hours a day and 7 days a week.

I could go on and on ... 

But the Tanzanians were and still are the happiest and friendliest people I have ever met and I enjoyed my time in their hell more than any other place I have ever lived - I would never have left if my body hadn't given up but the conditions were brutal and I suffer everyday still from the damage I did then but I wouldn't exchange that time for anything.
