Shortwave radio to pick up the BBC World Service, Africa has limited entertainment and news (even better, a windup version)

Wind up torch, batteries are not always available but power cuts are frequent.

Tinned butter or cheese - African versions are not the same.

You start craving all sorts of odd foods when you can't buy them any more,
their cows are different, so any dairy product tastes odd.
Actually their bread is pretty foul too.

Wat? Bread, Butter cheese and milk all taste just fine in Africa. :confused:
