In Africa, at least in east Africa, you also have to learn to
read between the lines (or between the eyes) when you ask
somebody for directions. Out of politeness and friendliness
everybody will always give you directions anywhere, but when
they know where it is, the kind person sounds and looks
different. Everybody from Africa understands this, only the
foreign traveller is fooled.

OK, maybe I exaggerated slightly. :-)
