Six tips for travel to Mogadishu

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

The guys in the video obviously know nothing about weapons. Hell, they are generally incredulous. (there are more and cheaper guns for sale in my local Wal-Mart)

The best part was all the anguish when the guy was pointing the RPG at them. Anyone who has watched any world news in the last 30 years knows the conical thing on the end "the grenade" wasn't present. About as lethal as stepping on a rake.

Still, the guys had stones to venture into that area with an American accent.

I have to wonder though if it would have been worth a totally ill informed video report if they had been kidnapped. Their ransom, rescue or death would have been a steep price to pay for a couple of overgrown schoolboys on an "adventure"
