^^ that's pretty grim. What happened to the rapist/killers? What other meat was on offer aside from chickens? Was Bush meat a thing in that area? Did you eat any nonstandard animals? Any nonstandard plants? What's the weirdest food they had? Were there any cultural values/behaviors that was a little too far out there for you as a westerner? Are there any western habits that they saw as totally bonkers? Did anyone try to set you up with their daughter? You touched on this already but without being gross did local woman see you/other western workers as a catch or novelty conquest? What did you/locals do for fun? Also more stories of cultural failure if you have them.

peanut posted:Someone I know was lured by an online boyfriend scam. Usually they ask for airfare to visit, but the person I know had studied arabic so she flew to Mauritania to meet him. She enjoyed her trip but said the village was weird… That sounds like less than a scam and more like a regular online relationship. Or did she call him out on it so hard he just went along with it. The ultimate reverse hustle.

Can you explain positive deviance a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean. Is this some sort of 'it's accepted that white people are non standard and do non standard things so let's use that to get non standard poo poo done that would otherwise be impossible'? Can you give us some examples?
