Know that we are commenting about Kapuscinski's reports I thought it would be interesting to talk a little about him. He was born the 4th of March in 1932 Varsovia, and died on January 23, 2007. He was a reporter, writer and journalist. He wrote in one of the most important newspapers world wide, and he also won two important prices.
In the start of this chapter, he talkes about how he is feeling while he is in Lagos and he comprares himself with Lazaro. ''It is some kind of sort of tropical infection. blood poisining or a reaction to an aunknown venom...''(Pg137) He describes how he is feeling and the difficulty that it takes to take care of yourself in sickness. In my opinion he is really strong, he had a hard time in Africa and he still kept figting. When he got back things where really hard, he was not used of being in an office or working the way they expected himto work. '' I have never had a desk, and I have never joined in meetings where people shout... ''(Pg.146) This is completly understandable because he is not used of living the way he was in that moment after being in Africa.
After talking about his difficulties, he jumps straight to .. ''After returning from Central Asia'' (pg.149) He starts talking about Central America, his first stop is Santiago de Chile. He talks about the city and things he saw and impressed him. He talks about the andes, the Pampas and the Amazon. I thinks its really cool he is mentioning a river in Colombia. He talks about the diffrent cultures '' Indian, Anglo Saxon, Spanish, French... ''(pg151)
In this pages simple thingsa happen, he gets sick goes back to work, and stars visiting latin america. I thing this is really amazing so he can see diffrent cultures and ways of life.
