Senegal

One of the nice aspects of Senegal is the friendly, tolerant, attitude of the people living here and the general air of stability. I was reminded of this on the walk to work this morning when I came across a hundred or so men, in a group, running and shouting down the street. My instinct, based on many other countries in this part of the world, was to assess what it could be – a demonstration? part of a riot? running from some incident? … No… just the new recruits for the nearby Customs training centre on their morning exercise run. Nice.
