13 - The Kilaminjaro Express to Mbaya

he boards another train - its Chinese history - and a woman reading one of his books

the woman and her husband and a Finnish friend drink with him - the Finnish woman has a memorable scene where she says that her mission to alleviate AIDS has failed

pg 285: harasses aid workers again - this and the topic that Africa can take care of itself is repeated over and over as if it is new

pg 286-7: "...dark star image in my mind, in which everyone existed as a sort of shadow-counterpart of someone in the brighter world."

sense of danger as he rides a minivan to town - then takes a taxi to the Malawi border, where he walks through
