... food,<br>The final whistle looms like an omen...over...Game Over.<br><br>Arriving at our lovely 'luxury budget' abode, we were excited to see an array of DVDs that we found time to indulge in as it has been a while. Despite its status as the BIGGEST, BADDEST city in Africa, Dakar didn't freak us out all that much in the end and in fact we rather enjoyed its bustling vibes and various street sellers ...
Serekunda, Gambia bellag... sat on this beautiful deck and watched the sunset... it was one of the most beautiful sunsets i had seen in my life. Alittle writing in the journal, a tear shed and then a quick boarding of the airplane.... and i was off. My time in africa felt like it was 5minutes... but it touched me deeper then anyother experience and trip of my life. I still think about it and talk about it with people around me nearly every minute.

Serekunda, Gambia jkosmides... so I came to the Senegalese border crossing. The officials were well presented, professional and very interested in my trip. I of course was very forthcoming with information and described my journey. I was even sung a few of the immigration officials favourite tunes while he filled in the relevant paperwork. The process took twenty minutes. No queue.. as I was the only person there and nobody arrived while I was being ...
Banjul, Gambia jnewcomb... a highly significant question about the current government that you want so desperately to answer with great conviction and passion, and you have to swallow all that emotion and dodge the question for fear of intimidation or imprisonment without a trial. You can only hope that student will not remain part of the large group of Gambians who are deluded by the government propaganda from a controlled press. Yet even if he does discover the answer on his own or from another source, he ...
Serekunda, Gambia mafoley... here, and though you will see women at universities and in higher-level jobs, traditional expectations apply) but during this holy time especially, it is very important that everyone work together and help others. This might mean cooking, or walking to the biddik (small shops on every block that sell basic canned goods, and other necessities) for fresh bread. You will leave the heat of the room you probably share with a couple other of your brothers and sisters, weave ...
Serekunda, Gambia mafoley... on, really turn around and tell me I wasn't equal to them? That is what they implied by refusing to compromise what is handed down to them by tradition. No one said anything. This included the one Gambian woman in the class. Another smcm student had gotten her opinion on the matter later. She said that yes, some more freedoms would be nice, but the second anyone told her it was violating tradition, she would stop. This from one of the few women we've encountered in ...
Serekunda, Gambia adminor... a donation, which he said would go to buy the children rice. Strangely, however, when he took the money he was almost rude, expecting more money. He even actually took a 50 dalasi note out of my hand that I was planning on keeping for food and a taxi. We all left at this point, in order to make it back wolof lesson. It was only on leaving the compound that we slowly but surely began to piece together what had happened, and it was at least 5 minutes later that we knew for sure we ...
Serekunda, Gambia adminor... rather cute with their oversized heads which they waggle with excitement before leaping on some poor unsuspecting fly. This affection expired with a bang in an incident of extreme embarrassment and panic earlier today. There I was, minding my own business on the toilet when I become aware of a splashing sound.. I ignored it as one does when one is still sleepy from an afternoon nap and has failed to check if the cubicle is already occupied. The splashing continued with ...
