Depends what part of Africa. I'd lean toward Africa though; on the other hand I'm not female so maybe I can avoid all the rampant rape in India.

I actually just ate some Indian take-out for dinner (seriously), and I would move there for their food, but not their rape or holy river of sewage and corpses. Plus, black chicks are hot. But I prefer the ones who have some brown to them, not the ones that are stovepipe black like you see on National Geographic. Indian chicks are either really hot or not at all -- no middle ground.

Never been to africa (who the gently caress goes to africa if theyre not part of an organization), but India isn't so appealing either, having been there. I'd only live in Goa. The cities are just too noisy and dirty. If I had to choose a city, Calcutta. Spent enough time in Mumbai and Chennai to hate both (sorry to any locals of those places).

africa is loving huge man, theres plenty of reasons to go to africa. i've been to the canary islands actually so basically i've been in africa

mauritius could be a cool place to live for while, altho im not sure if you can get weed there.

Actually I should phrase my question less rhetorically...who goes to Africa alone, and why? Where do they go and where do they avoid? Seems like everything I read about the continent gives me many more things to put in the "avoid" column than the "have to visit" column.

I mostly only want to see Ethiopia at this point, and even then only Addis Ababba (sp?). And every country around it has a whole lot of problems that I as an unarmed lone westerner would want to stay far away from (Sudan..Somalia..wtf). Not even getting into why they are this way, just that they are this way. Even Egypt and North Africa seem too chaotic for an American. I knew a Ghanaian girl who swore that Ghana was a great place to visit, but I would have only gone there with her (theoretically).

Where are the Canary Islands and how were they? Cheap, expensive? How long can you stay?

well, africa is really, really big. there's plenty of peaceful nations with developed cities as well as wild nature. for example zanzibar is an island off the coast of tanzania, and it has been a trade hub between africa and india for centuries. it's a melting pot of cultures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar

and there's like, countless places like that in africa. it's seriously as big as china, india and usa and most of europe combined.

well thats a bit of an exaggeration. africa has plenty of tourist friendly places. i mean, there are areas in most big us cities where you will probably get mugged if you go there on your own. that's just how big cities are.

def avoid egypt and countries with a similar political situation. i'd steer clear of all islamic nations atm myself.

it's a bit of a joke since the canary islands have been a part of spain for centuries. they're located off the coast of north western africa. they're really nice actually, there's a lot of old architecture, museums and restaurants if you're into that and then there's a lot of nature if you wanna go hiking, surfing or stuff like that. cheap to fly to from most of europe, too.

it's not a problem for women either if they dress appropriately, which just basically means no bikinis in the street and cover your head in mosques. morocco is afaik pretty chill when it comes to tourists.

that said i'd stay away from islamic nations because i dont want to get kidnapped or bombed to death. the probability is really slim, but after the arab spring it's a possibility.

Egypt scores high on American tourists lists even still, but for some reason I've never had the slightest interest in going there. And it's not quite African but also not quite Middle East, I don't think.

I'd pick Africa. Africa has more options, since it's a whole bunch of countries rather than one.

Also every single Indian-Americans I've meet has told me that they think India is terrible. You'd think they'd have a little fondness for their home country, even if they did leave.

just note that it doesn't feel like africa at all. apart from the nature and climate it's like being in a spanish town. they do indigenous people though. they have this really cool and unique whistling language traditionally used to communicate from one side of a valley to the other.

it's a cool place to visit, but not really africa
