Chinese Tourist Dives Into African Volcano
Another weird thing about Chinese culture is that everyone in the country goes on vacation at the same time for two weeks during the year. Could you imagine that? Your whole town shuts down and everyone goes on travel to see the sights- and your town trots out tourist traps to attract fellow tourists to visit your little piece of the world.
One Chinese woman decided she would vacation in the darkest corner of the world– the border of Rwanda and the Congo where the only tourist attraction is a volcano and its lake of fire. And with camera in hand, this Chinese lady vaulted over the rim of the volcano to get a close-up photo. She slid down the inside of the cone and roasted herself over the fiery lake.

A Chinese tourist who fell into the crater of a volcano in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has died Saturday.
Cecilia Cheng Siuyan climbed over the crater rim of the Nyiragongo volcano near Congo’s border with Rwanda on Friday to take a photo but slipped and fell more than 100 metres (300 feet) before coming to rest on a ledge above the lake of lava.
“She is dead, but they haven’t yet been able to remove the body,” Celestin Kasereka, director of the volcanological observatory in the nearby city of Goma, told Reuters.
Seriously, who vacations in the freakin’ Congo?
Congo is not a freakin’ congo you ignorant stupudo…that’s my country you are disrespecting…Im sorry about the woman who die but I have climb that volcano myself and this is a very unusual situation.
“The Congo” refers to the jungle region in equatorial Africa Ng, you sensitive prick. Again, no one wants to go there on vacation.
