Senegal exceeded my expectations (and took most of my money) but so far I am dissapointed with Gambia (although it is much cheaper and less expensive here).
Everywhere you turn in Senegal it is visually stimulating, the way people interact, the way the women do the hair, the fashions, the styles, the scenary, the music and dance is everywhere in Senegal, and I heard alot of great music I'd never heard before.......
....but here in Gambia it is dirty, dirt poor, the place I was staying at when I first got here, they didn't even have soap (I know they use soap themselves when they wash, so I don't know why it wasn't in there) when I asked for it, but they sent one of their maids to go buy me some. The electricity can sometimes go out for a period of time during the day. I can give other examples of stuff later. And the shower wasn't workign so they gave me buckets of water to wash up with. Someone in the streets tried to act like he knew me and was a customs officer I passed coming in, and said he was in an emergency, to loan him some money, and trick me and all this stuff. Also, the people have a depressed look and aren't smiling and laughing with one another like senegal. It's loud, noisy, busy, and smelly here.
I just got here, so this is all an early assesment.

That's not bad thinking man... I almost screwed myself by not coming with enough money but I've ran into a little good fortune along the way so I might be okay.

and you should go to Morocco man, tight place...

Well... definitely from what I've heard and seen Morocco is one of the best Arab countries to go to, and they have a rich culture and the people are known as some of the best. But, I went to the Arab countries Oman and United Arab Emirates and I wasn't so impressed. I wanted to make sure my next trip was to a non-Arab country... nothing against Arabs, but Africans are definitely the coolest people in the world.
