I failed to mention security/crime/safety.
Every place you enter, be it shop, restaurant, museum, gallery, hotel or air port you are searched as is the car.
Police and military work together and are highly visible almost on every street corner – relaxed, friendly, armed and visible. Which is why I could happily walk in the dark alone in an African city and feel completely safe – no one jostled me, hassled me or made me feel nervous
Great feeling
