People in Rwanda 
Kigali, Kigali Region, Rwanda
Everywhere we went, especially by car, kids tried to sell us toilet paper. I finally bought a large amount and tried to sell it to people. They thought it was hilarious. Rwandans have a pretty good sense of humor, especially the kids.

I talked with some people associated with a health clinic. 100% of the soldiers that they tested had HIV. 50% of the pastors had HIV. Don't have sex in Rwanda.

Gisenyi, West Rwanda, Rwanda
This place is has a bit of a dark past in relation to the genocide and the war with DRC. However, it is also stunningly beautiful. There are several excellent hotels by the lake sure and the hills surrounding the lake remind me of the Croatian coast more than central Africa. This is a great place to chill out for a few days.
