Zimbabwean
The best things
Fanta, Food, stoney ginger beer, braii's, friendly atmosphere, nice music and good parties.


Embarrassing things
African parents lol :L
Worst things
Mugabe and all the other African authoritarians!
Media perception, showing pics of lil kids with protruding bellies and kwashoka

Zimbabwe is my favourite place in the WORLD.
Worst things for me would be...
"So I'm from England, where are you from?"
"South Africa"
"Oh, but what country in south Africa?"
Not being accepted as African ("but you're white?")
The stupid stereotypes such as
"Do you have roads in Africa? Did you live with elephants?"
Ah, and getting kicked out of Zim for being associated with a "secret agent".
But one of the best things is definitely the fact that people believe that the scar on my hand is from when I fought off a lion that was attacking a bunny rabbit.
Oh and being the only white kid I know who can pronounce "IQANDA" correctly.

Kenyan here:
Best:
Stoney
Makmende
Worst:
The horrible assumptions that African cities are unsafe. I can guarantee you that most East African cities are far safer than say Birmingham!
