Central/South America makes sense. I do not understand west-Africa when you'd probably get those chainsaws even more cheaply somewhere in Asia, unless it's a language barrier issue.
Well, that requires having family in the appropriate part of Asia, which will only be true some of the time. At least, I'm pretty sure the people in OP's story didn't travel to America just to buy a chainsaw.
Good point.
