Snowmayne · 09-17-2011, 05:32 AM

2 parts have been released so far.

The VICE Guide to Congo | VICE News | VICE

Looks like its gonna be an awesome series.

I keep putting off watching the Vice Guides that are on Netflix. I really want to though.

Lloydy · 09-17-2011, 06:14 AM

Have you seen the North Korea one? Its truly bizarre.

eldizle · 09-17-2011, 07:07 AM

made me feel more confident in columbia. Hate that they took the words of a couple of junkies and made it into a 'huge trend' with the scopalamine powder bandits.

but other than that little thing, and errors like it, i have nothing but applause for the series.

fenderbender · 09-17-2011, 11:26 AM

never heard of it or the vice series.

Snowmaynes recommendations are usually pretty good though so ill be sure to check it out later.

shai_hulud · 09-17-2011, 01:26 PM

snowmayne's recommendations are about as good as that guy that posts on snowmayne's account. walnuts.

Seems like a sweet place to visit.

Silverleaf · 09-17-2011, 02:26 PM

Just watched the first few episodes of the travel guide series -- buying guns in Pakistan and dirty bombs in Bulgaria. AWESOME series.

same here...same comment - BUT

then I got pissed cause I couldn't find part 3

played texas holdem the rest of the night...won $35,000

In the last 2 nights I've gone from about $68,000 to $226,000.

to bad it isn't real money.

Geeno · 09-18-2011, 04:33 AM

^lol

The liberia one is mind blowing.

It's funny to me how incompetent the military is.

Like it's amazing to me that my company is profitable with all of our mistakes and incompetence, but it almost seems that we're more organized and well run than the military. That being said, I wouldn't put my life in the hands of my coworkers, I sure as hell would never join the military.

eldizle · 09-18-2011, 04:58 AM

one big four year trust fall with your coworkers.

no thanks.

Captain Cannabis · 09-18-2011, 05:42 AM

but when the other parts?!

fenderbender · 09-18-2011, 02:15 PM

If you guys read that trip through the congo report from that other snowmayne thread about the congo, it makes watching vids about that area much cooler.

The trip report was super descriptive and well written i highly recommend it.

Geeno · 09-18-2011, 02:23 PM

Africa: Interesting as fuck.

For further Africa reading I suggest the semi-autobiographical Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight about the experiences of a young girl growing up in the former Rhodesia and early Zimbabwe.

And for some African historical fiction I recommend Things Fall Apart

fenderbender · 09-18-2011, 02:56 PM

Africa really is super interesting.

scares the living shit out of me at the same time though...
