But I was very happy there。 W: But some of the places in Africa, they must be --- they must be very different。 M: I know what’s on your mind. Right. Some Africa cities can be a little horrible. There are places that I avoid. I don’t like cities generally not because I feel threatened but because I feel confined。 W: You mean you find cities unsatisfying? M: I like being at a street level and looking out to watch the sun set. The idea of a sun setting behind a lot of buildings is what I find unsatisfying.
