-In many of the places I go here, the kids call me "too-bob" which means white guy. They call me it like it's my name, and if I turn around they smile or laugh. I'll be walking down the streets and just keep hearing "too-bob", "too-bob".
"In The Gambia, white people are called ' tuobabs', supposedly from the price of a slave which was 2 shillings."- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilling
