woohoo i`m still alive...i have a shit time right now because of stress in school+ job for 3 weeks+ some other stuff 
but
i consider to go to africa this summer for 4 weeks... doing some work in a orphanage or something with hiv- infected people...
i think that an experience like this would be so amazing..away from the commerce-life...no brain-fuck...just you and your mind...the reality...and the work for the people...
i hope i will succeed...

Well, while I was a kid (like 10 years old), my dad had been to africa a ton of times (I think he's visited about every single african nation by now... He's a freak about it
We went to Kenya and Tanzania, though mainly for the standard animal-watching tourist trip, which is also great. The nature down there is beyond awesome. Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro-crater are two things you do NOT want to miss if you are around the southern regions of Kenya.
However, we also spent a couple of days in the capitol of Kenya, Nairobi, where my dad, ever the socialst (you gotta love 'im) insisted on showing me how real poverty looked. That was about as impressive as the rest of the trip in total. The term 'Social injustice' will never be the same again.
But I'm kinda envious, with my dad going to Africa all the time. Just within the last couple of months he's been to both Timbuktu and Sierra Leone, and he's going to Ghana this march. Lucky bastard
Well, the conclusion: As I've said before: Go for it, you won't ever regret it. But it sounds like you are very decided already, so I guess I don't have to keep trying to convince you
Anyway, yes my industrial hurt like f'*ck the first couple of days, but it got better rather quick. Now, two weeks later I can almost sleep on my left side again
But I kinda had to go straight to a bar, as I wanted to have it for christmas to show of to family + friends
I'm getting tat'd sometime in january, and I'm really looking forward to it!
And you're getting pierced, you say? Well, go for it. Do you want it in the middle or to the side?
Anyway, I can't wait to see it. By the way, shouldn't you buy a digital cam, now that you're at it? I'm not gonna allow you to get pierced, if I can't see the result
