The way you worked up to the reveal, plus the very real motivations behind the narrator, and the statement you make regarding safaris today and what the future may hold. It was a brilliant concept that was beautifully written. One of my favorite pieces on the site.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>chris beckettChris Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491720353884627624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-67661518265809493712007-08-28T11:39:00.000-07:002007-08-28T11:39:00.000-07:00nice..the story is soooo you though.i would have g...nice..<BR/>the story is soooo you though.<BR/>i would have guessed you wrote it even if i didnt know you did.<BR/><BR/>you made me think of a thing or two.<BR/>man.. i wish i wrote, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-88914771818521339302007-08-26T13:23:00.000-07:002007-08-26T13:23:00.000-07:00I love Ghana, my wife's from Togo... so thanks for...I love Ghana, my wife's from Togo... so thanks for your post and I hope there will be some more than you anticipated.

I think climate change is going to be a bit more complex than that. Maybe I'll get into that later.<BR/><BR/>As for the safari bit, I live in Ghana, you get similar kinds of stuff happening here. And I expect it'll become bigger business as tourism grows. I was also thinking about the kind of 'poverty tourism' that happens in South Africa where people go purposely to observe townships.<BR/><BR/>I'll try for views of other parts of Africa in later stories.<BR/><BR/>Everyone else, thanks for reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-3368338702248850262007-08-26T02:07:00.000-07:002007-08-26T02:07:00.000-07:00Incredible take on cultural safari.Incredible take on cultural safari.FireBrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612244598611239007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-32903671693084434992007-08-25T06:55:00.000-07:002007-08-25T06:55:00.000-07:00Frantastic Premise!->Four Thumbs Up!Frantastic Premise!<BR/><BR/>->Four Thumbs Up!<-ladyfreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090451499291642039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-34818529944528742982007-08-24T19:26:00.000-07:002007-08-24T19:26:00.000-07:00Great story Thank you.

It is interesting to see how tourism has become such a priority that the natives are treated like animals in a zoo. Your story takes the idea of going on safari to another level, but isn't a far cry from today's caribbean tourist areas where locals are beaten off of "private beaches" (and the areas surrounding them so as not to obstruct tourist views of white sand and blue water). Anyway, thank you for an intelligent story. Please write more about Togoland or Nigeria or any of the remaining nation-states in Africa, fifty years from now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115666364879368494.post-71148846048584851432007-08-24T07:29:00.000-07:002007-08-24T07:29:00.000-07:00Fantastic.Fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
