... What first hit me was how authentically beautiful everyone is, especially their women. Combined with the beautiful colourfoul dresses, it just makes them pieces of living art. I was very moved by my trip to L'ile de Gorée, it's a little island, near Dakar, that was known for slave trade. That, however, is a reminder of how there is not much faith in humanity. It's a very touristic island but you can still find some small peaceful corners there. I found the Senegalese very nice and polite, but I have to say that my experience while travelling with male colleagues was totally different from my experience while travelling alone there, they do respect the male presence and are very polite but when you're a woman alone, it's very hard to get by. Overall, they're very nice and warm and good representatives of what they call the 'Terenga' spirit, plus they were generous enough to call me Sophie Marceau when I was walking in the street, so I had that going for me which was nice ...but again, they are very generous !!!
