Mar29	Finding Africa's Sweet Spot for Expats Matt Ellsworth March 29, 2006 Know More: Africa, Cameroon, Countries, Senegal 2.0, Countries I got a comment on this morning's entry about places that expats favor in Sub-Saharan Africa (not incuding the RSA). A writer in the Congo suggests, among others, Douala (Cameroon) and Dakar (Senegal). I'm surprised. (Ignorance will do that for you.) But also always happy to learn. I invite other reviews. Are these two cities peaceful, clean, safe, places where folks should consider spending time because of their attraciveness and quality of life? I've lived "out there", both as a diplomat and on the economy. I can forgive bad traffic (to an extent) and some uncleanliness (as long as public services are available and of good quality) to enjoy peace, quiet, and local color inexpensively.

Mar13	World Baseball Classic Buzz Matt Ellsworth March 13, 2006 Is there any buzz abroad about the local teams? I know from experiences in Mexico that Latin Americans love a chance to humble--if not humiliate--the U.S. There was a growing interest in the Classic here in the U.S., but I don't think it survived to Canada in the opening round.

	The ExPat Take on Bachelet in Chile Matt Ellsworth March 13, 2006 On the face of it, the inauguration of Michelle Bachelet as Chile's new president continues a leftward shift in Latin American politics. But does it? Continue Reading Posted at 6:57 AM \| Permalink \| Comments
	St. Patrick's Day around the World Matt Ellsworth March 13, 2006 What are the local expressions of St. Patrick's Day, if any, where you are? I just read that the first public celebration was in Boston, not in Ireland, so I'm thinking that it's roots are based as much in beer sales as in Irish nationalism.
