Nah...It does not piss me off at all. Try surfing after working legs...damn it hurts and ply i have torn my right ACL and my left LCL in my knees but i love surfing and have always loved sharks. I was offered a job doing shark Tourism off of Great Barrier about two years ago. I have did it in Florida and Hawaii but i always loved diving with the whites...

 :o

That would take some serious balls.

We go up to the Farallones off San Francisco every year. Biggest whites on earth, but it's super cold, poor vis, and the sharks don't always show. The Baja trip's more popular, with more sharks and better conditions. Pricey, though, and the whites aren't quite as big:

This was from a recent Baja trip. The "small" sharks.

Hard to say, but I did see one the captain thought was "Stumpy," a 19-foot monster (over 5,000 lbs). Thing with that place, you don't see them until they're about 6 ft. from the cage.

No one had seen anything that day, and my feet were starting to cramp, so I'm looking down. Maybe 15 ft. visible below, and it's all dark, dark green. Then, it goes totally black. This fucking dinosaur appears outta nowhere and slowly creeps up toward the boat. Wider than the cage holding two grown men. Like a 747 - absolutely unreal!

Then, gone. Just like that.

Supposed to be a few even bigger, too.

  That's quite the list of African countries-are those all politically safe or did you risk a little and go into some other areas?

And what do africans say about those claiming to be african american? have a look and see.


&feature=related

Really?  And Mex-Amer, Asian-Amer and others dont exist.  Africans can be amusing when you ask them about Black-Amer who are still the most successful group of Afri descent on the planet. 
 
Argentina (hate the country but love the women)
Dominican Republic (hate them cause they hate themselves and Haitians who are the kin.  Like it or not...Vic Martinez  ;))

I visited most of the West African countries while participating in a student internship exchange program back in 1992. I was in Togo during a military coup if that counts. (Soldiers occupying the building I was in - there was a radio station on the top floor - I was on the ground floor. While I was scared when it happened, I don't think I was in any real danger as it was a non-violent coup).

While traveling through some of these countries (all on public transport, mostly buses) there were some tricky situations, specially at border crossings, but nothing really scary.

Going to and from European countries is easier than other countries.  I mean the US is so far from other countries.  You can't drive to them.  Canada and Mexico only.  Maybe we should count each state as a country. :D   You can go to several countries at a time via the bullet train in Europe right?  I want my list longer. :-\

Good Point, You can for example visit Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein within less than an hour on a bicycle, riding along the Lake Constance and Rhine cycling path...
