How did we end up here? We were running about in a poor African village on the shore of the Indian ocean, videotaping the villagers here in this 700-year old Swahili outpost.

And I even got a peek at their en suite baths. Mine was just as nice. See, my life is not all that different from a billionaire’s. At least when going to the bathroom in the jungle.

The ground shook and we stared in disbelief as they raced toward us, trumpeting frantically. They were hungry, ravenous and in a wild-eyed rush. Now they were upon us. We should have been terrified… instead, we laughed and petted them as they rumbled by, most of them about waist high.
