‘Het is een sport’ en ‘het is een avontuur’ zijn de verkorte antwoorden als ik het met de Franse taal moet doen. ‘Ik ontvlucht de snelle Westerse samenleving’ is een kort antwoord in het Engels, maar omdat geen één Afrikaan dat snapt, stop ik met dat antwoord.

V: What is your profession?’ and ‘For which company are you working?’
C: ‘You don’t know the company where I work for, if I tell you the name I am sure you don’t know it. Why do you ask me this!’
V: ‘Why are you traveling in Africa?’ and ‘Are you married?’
