I stayed in Serekunda for a while and almost every morning I’ve got woken by singing and marching militaries.
The first mornings I thought it was funny, but after a while it was irritating.
So don’t forget your earplugs, when you want a good night rest.

Warnings Or Dangers: Watch out for BUMSTERS

The Gambia is a popular exotic destination.
So, when there are tourists, there are Dollars and when there are Dollars, there are Bumsters (young unemployed locals, who will do anything to get your money).
These Bumsters follow you everywhere you go, sometimes they want to be your guide, other times they want to sell you something.
But most of the time, they just want your money and they can't accept a NO for answer.
A few years ago the government started a cleaning campaign, because the Bumsters became more aggressive and the tourists started to avoid the Smiling Coast.
These days the streets along the coastline are almost Bumster free and the tourists can walk freely without getting harassed.

This must have been quite the experience! It was interesting hearing about the Kroc pond--it's amazing they allow themselves to be "pet"...regards from Texas |
