Sierra Leonean food is spicy!!! They use a ton of pepper!!! But, it's really good - lots of cassava, and leaves and groundnut (peanut) soup. I especially like street food though and I've been lucky not to get sick yet ;)
The setting is very tropical - not savannah. Kenema town is very dusty and not too pretty but the outskirts are beautiful. Lots of forests and trees and swamps - very much like New Orleans.
Sierra Leone was a British colony (I think they actually called it a protectorate for a while) and after the American Revolution, the Brits let those slaves that were loyal move to Freetown. One of the national languages here is actually Krio, a mix of English, French, and African languages (similar to Creole).
