Some of the things I learned about Africa is that one quarter of the people in Africa live on about $1.25 American dollars a day. The exchange rate from American dollars though probably makes $1.25 worth more than we think it is. If you had $1.25 in U.S. dollars I wonder how much food you could buy in South Africa? Africa is the only continent to have northern and southern climate zones. It makes sense though because Africa is such a big continent. If the native tribes of Africa lived in more than one climate I wonder how they dealt with it?
I learned that in South Africa DJ's are among the top five most influential people of the country. I think that music is more than just a form of entertainment in Africa though. If DJ's are on the top five most influential people list, I wonder who the other four are?
I learned that most of the email schemes that circulate through the Internet originated in Nigeria. I think that this is an interesting fact because I thought that most of Nigeria didn't run very many computers. I don't know if the email schemes come from a lot of different computers in Nigeria or if there is just a lot of emails coming from a couple really busy computers?
