Hmm, Canada or Arica...
Tough choice, especially considering you'll get paid more in Canada.
You really have to ask?

How you doing? Been a while
I do feel for you, tough choice. Luckily I have never been in the same predicament/dilemma...

You'll soon find yourself yearning for the frigid tundra you leave behind. Forewarned.

You have been in your current job for quite some time right axbaby?
The change may be just what you need.
Although the scared shitless is a weighted factor now isnt' it?
Night buddy.

Though, to be fair, Namibia seems relatively stable for an African country. It couldn't hurt to work there and enrich their economy in the process. All the Live8s in the world won't help Africa like good old-fashioned sustainable economic growth supported by foreign investment.

we shall see ..i'll be working on this project and more
Rundu Diamond Project: an early stage exploration project consisting of one ERL. located in the north eastern Okavango Region of Namibia. An airborne geophysical test survey has been conducted in parts of the license area, from which three kimberlite targets have been identified at or near the intersection of two known dyke swarms.

Can't say as I would have made the same choice, Ax. Part of me says "Man, what an adventure! Africa has so much awesome stuff to see!"
and the other part says "AFRICA??!?! Fuck that AIDS and dictator infested shithole!"
So, good luck, and DON'T FUCK ANYTHING. NOT EVEN YOURSELF.
