In the english version I think it attacks him and he flashes it with his camera or something,something lame in comparisson. But in the real book he literally blows the rhino to bits seeing that the hard armor is too hard to shoot with his gun. He puts too much explosive in and leaves no Rhino to bring back or anything. All the work for nothing:-) Its cruel and at the same time a bit humorous :-) I'm glad I own this page in a different language.

Though it didn't really matter as nearly everyone has basic English and it is a very diverse city so everyone is use to dealing with multiple languages. I picked up the portfolio edition of Tintin in the Congo in French. I thought this would be the most interesting one to read in its original form, given all the fuss about it. The knee is now healing nicely and I'm almost back to normal. It was annoying to miss out on the Herge museum but apart from that, it didn't stop us having a really good time.

Do you speak French? If not, it msut have been pretty weird being there. If you're not back yet, I recommend buying one of the Tintin books in French. I can't remember what it's called, but you mentioned it here once (I think). It's one of the Arabian ones, and has a few pages different from the English edition, because issues with British soldiers and Jews (or something like that). Hope the rest of the trip is okay, Pe-ads A massive bummer about your knee. :-(
