Whilst Xui is on a trade mission to Nigeria, his wife takes advantage of the opportunity to add to her substantial jewellery collection sourcing 'blood diamonds'. Roland Poland, left to his own devices, decides to make himself known to the locals and wanders off into the countryside.
He writes to his brother Malcolm,
Hi Malcolm,
Went to a local village and the witch doctor came out and started
dancing around me. He was waving a bone and when I jumped
up to get it, I bit his finger.
I think he put a curse on me because I have just seen
the Black Dog from Whitby following me around again.

Here is the page I made for him in his travel book.
I made the witch doctors on the postcard from grunge paper and jute fibres and coloured with Sharpies. You can see the photo of the Lassa witch doctors that inspired me (all photos courtesty of Wikipedia Commons). The large carving of an Edu woman is made of ivory and the large outcrop is Zuma Rock a famous landmark to visitors of Nigeria.
Do come and visit all the travellers on Darcy's Postcard Challenge (link in sidebar).
