Travel via stamps (Burundi & Cameroun)
Hi Friends!

I don't think I will ever visit these countries on my own initiative.   

While a child, I read the autobiographical book by John Hunter.  In that book, he describes how he, the young lad from Scotland, moved to Africa and became a professional hunter. He hunted all the most dangerous African animals such as elephants, rhinoceros,  buffalos, lions, and leopards.  Besides, he was a professional hunter that accompanies rich and famous people in African safaris. 

As far as I remember, Hemingway used him as a model of a professional hunter in his famous short story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber". Except that John Hunter loved his wife and I don't think was unfaithful to her.  In any case, he didn't mention it in his book.  So the affair part Hemingway most likely came up on his own. )

All that is to say that at that time I dreamed about moving to Africa and joining a safari.

Much later in life, I happened to be in Mexicali - a small town bordering with the USA.  Over there I saw what you would call a bullfight or better say bull slaughter.  It was such a nasty scenery that I almost vomited.  After that, I lost all the interest in traveling to Africa and shooting animals. )))

*** The Russian translation ***

Обе страны в Африке и туда я точно не поеду.  Ну если что по работе.  

Когда-то в детстве я читал книгу шотландского охотника Джона Хантера под названием Охотник.  Там описывается как парень из Шотландии ужехал в Африку и стал там профессиональным охотником.  Он охотился на всех самых опасных африканских животных: слонов, буйволов, носогогов, львов и леопардов.  К тому-же он возил в сафари много богатых и известных людей. Насколько я помню, шотландский охотник, выведенный в моем любимом хемингуэевском рассказе "Короткая счастливая жизнь Френсиса Макомбера", написан имеррно с него.  За исключением того что Хантер не изменял своей жене.  Во всяком случае в книге он об этом не писал.  Так что эту часть рассказа Хемингуэй скорее всего выдумал.  Так вот... я мечтал поехать когда нубудь в Африку и пойти в сафари.

Но один раз мне пришлось быть в Мехикали (это небольшой городок на границе США и Мексики). Там я посмотрел бой быков или лучше назвать закалывание быков.  Это было таким мерзким зрелищем, чт меня там чуть не вырвало. После этого мне расхотелось ехать в Африку и стрелять в животных.  )))
