Travel Vlog : First 24 Hours In Dakar , Senegal
In this video, I'm sharing my first 24 hours in Senegal. Highlights of my trip include getting to know the locals and trying some of their favorite dishes. I also explore the city of Dakar and take a look at the local architecture.
If you're interested in exploring Africa, then you'll love my 24 hours in Senegal! This video will give you a taste of what it's like to live and study in Senegal, and maybe even whet your appetite for a longer trip down south. Thanks for watching!

Exactly Auston. You see a lot of people on that beach because it is a holiday. Daaah. That is what we've been trying to tell you. You can't go to the beach in Kenya on a weekday during working hours, on a regular day not even a weekend or a holiday, and expect to see people. That's just crazy. People have other more important things to do dude. lolest. You said it yourself that in Senegal they are celebrating a holiday. No wonder there are people in the beach. That's very normal. Same as Kenya and many other African countries.

That monument is really nice, very imposing and to imagine that it is the museum inside the sculpture, genius. All in all, I can say Dakar reminds me of Eastleigh neighbourhood in Nairobi, heavily built up but lacking a bit in infrastructure. Looking forward to the rest of the Dakar series and the Francophone heritage left by the French in Dakar.

Try to hook up with RJ Mahdi. Look him up. You kind of resemble him a little bit. He will make your visit to Dakar very enjoyable. I think you should interview him. Also, it was not fried banana but fried plantain instead. They look alike but plantain is bigger and it is not a fruit. You can't it it raw. You got to cook it. This is what fufu is made of in Ghana and other part of west and central Africa. The fried plantain is delicious. One last thing. They have beaches in Dakar where you can exercice for free as if you were in the gym. They have all the equipment outdoirs on the beach and folks just jog and exercice on the beach. I know you will like it. Miss Trudy had a video exercicing on one of those beaches.

Ivory Coast,Senegal has a mix of Black French,black Arab & west African food. South Africa has unique food blends. Mozambique,Trinidad,Brazil, & Jamaica has that mix of African,Carrib,Spanish,foods. China has those black Chinese recipes. Only they poach foods too. Southern Black American food with Creole,Geeche,Memphis BBQ, You already know soul food. These are the top 10.. foodies all over the world say the same thing. Mark Weins loves Africa,Jamaica,Brazil,Trinidad,and Thai/China food. Honorable mention black Arab foods are soon good too.
