On moving to a new country, there many things to consider – learning the language always helps you get around.
But if you are a driver, learning the “road culture” is a must.
After six months in The Gambia I popped backed to the UK for a visit and felt oddly disorientated yet could not figure out why.
It was only on my fourth day when I heard a solitary “beeeeep” as I was walking along that I exclaimed, “That’s what’s missing.” It was the car horns.
In The Gambia, a symphony of cacophony is so ever-present that a gap of four seconds would be considered an eternity.
Ah
Na wa ooo
Hmmmmmmm

Fantabulous
