What is the most obscure country from which you've met a person?
Don't count people you've met while traveling to obscure countries. What's the most unusual country from which you've met someone, while going about your normal business in the United States?
I was friends with a guy in college who was from The Gambia. Not just a Gambia, but THE Gambia. That's a small country. The husband of a friend of mine is from Yemen, which is pretty unusual, and a client of mine once was from Bulgaria. I met someone once whose girlfriend was from the island of Truk, and I really wanted to meet her, but never got the chance. I'd like to meet a Mongolian person at some point. |

I rented out my house to a person I thought was a friend from The Gambia
Suffice to say you can take the man out of Africa but you can't take the Africa out of the man - He destroyed my place |

Beats me. I don't know you, the place, or the people. There could be a hundred explanations, but you're sailing right past all of them and going straight for "because they're African", and that's racism.
