(in no particular order) * Big, fresh, juicy mangos for 30p each. * Simple, cheap, fun public transport, in the form of the zemidjan. * Being able to speak Fon and other interesting languages every day. * Sunshine (what’s that look like again?!) and warm weather in general. * Having a tough 4×4 and driving it anywhere. * Friends like Brian Mitton, Matt Price, Bill, Reggy & Mathieu Assogba. * Being warmly greeted by strangers as you walk down the street. * Cheap fuel – diesel was 55p a litre there!! * Bab’s Dock – a wonderfully relaxing resort on the lagoon. * Bissap juice. Mmmmmmm! |
