The best surprises are very carefully constructed, really. Chad is the centre for the operation between the american military and the french military to combat adism in north africa. I couldn't go there because it was locked down, and the planes weren't flying. Thereare like em what they call informal gas stations in the sahara desert that take place right out there in the middle of the cahara desert. And i watched a couple of movies that gave me good sense of the landscape and the people's clothes and the traffic and all that kind of thing. You can see chad on google earth - which means you can see a satellite picture of any place on the planet.
