I always enjoyed bringing souvenirs back from Rwanda and telling my friends, "Look, you had better really appreciate this. This ancient Congolese mask that I bought outside the restaurant from a chap who did not look at all shady set me back TEN THOUSAND!"

And then I regale them with stories of my amazingly high-class guest house, for which I paid about 30,000 for a night.

I love feeling like a high-roller!

(As a side note: this post really needs pics!)
