Here's the first set of pics from my trip. I will be resizing them and dropping some more info to go along with the pics later, but I just wanted to at least get something up for now...
Restaurant on first day in Senegal visiting the historical Goree Island (former slave island)
My guesthouse I rented for over a month in Gambia
My friend Idrissa's old home he grew up in as a boy, in the upcountry/province called Jowara, Gambia. That shirt I'm wearing was a going away gift from the head of the family. They were all very good to me during my stay there with his family.
Pic of my friend Idrissa's extended family in the Provinces
Local eating spot close to my place in Gambia. Usually we would eat, like 3 to 5, sometimes even 7 or 8 people around one big bowl of food. I think eating like this brings people closer together, also the food tastes better and your less likely to overeat like this.
At Gambia's #1 nightclub, chilling out before Viviane N'Dour and the Jolof Band take the stage (much more on this later)
Reggae concert in Gambia, Jamaican artists Busy Signal performing. Had to stop the show at one point because he was overcome with emotion, crying saying it was his first show he's ever done in Africa.
My homie from Lebanon, Muhammad, with us at the Busy Signal concert, speaks fluent Wolof, Arabic, French and English. Alot of Lebanese families that have been living in Senegal/Gambia for around around a century.

This thread doesn't belong in this section. A mod should put it in the g spot

nice post, I appreciate that, and I wish you the best in your future travels to Europe.
Some people travel for work, some people travel for fun. For me, I travel to find myself. Because the world is a big place, and what you need or identify with may not always be right at your doorstep.

I've been to Mexico and Canada, never had any desire to go to Japan or China. Yeah, I've heard South Africa is nice, but from what I know you may not get a whole lot of local African culture if you go there, just because it is more of a mix of cultures, with whites who have lived there for decades/centuries, and also large populations of people from the Indian subcontinent, and I think even Japanese.
