This is the butchers in the indoor market. All the meat is stored in the open air and the remnants are tossed onto the floor and then swept into a big pile, the smell was awful! |
|
In the Gambia nothing is wasted everything is reused. This picture shows a man whose job is purely to sell used bottles tins and cans. |
|
This shop sells old parts from all types of vehicles. |
|
Shops are generally found lining the roadside, such as this pot and plant stall. |
|
Others are found in large indoor markets, which consist of tiny stalls with very dark narrow passages leading between them.
|
|
This stall sells speciality foods, e.g. herbs, spices and sauces. |
|
Crime in the Gambia is limited to mostly petty theft from homes and vehicles. There is a local police force but they are easily corrupted so there are private security services (such as the unusually named Wackenhut). Many of the wealthier houses have night and day watchmen. |
|
Agriculture in the Gambia is limited to the harvest of groundnuts. Most people work in their own tiny stalls selling low value goods. |
