What kind of country is Senegal?

Senegal, Africa is a country with beautiful women like clouds. My brother-in-law worked here a few years ago. It didn't take long to play with a girlfriend with a hot body and a beautiful face. At the age of marriage, my brother-in-law broke up with this girlfriend.

I met my brother-in-law's girlfriend. She has a sexy figure and charming eyes, which fits the type of our marriage. Who knows that when it comes to getting married, my brother-in-law chose to break up. I don't understand this either. I didn't understand my brother-in-law's real trouble until I went to Senegal!

At that time, the company wanted to open the market in South Africa, so it wanted to send three people to work in Senegal, because when it comes to Africa, people think of places with poor conditions and very bad environment, so many people are reluctant to go!

In this regard, the company also offered a high salary of 1 1,000 yuan and other generous treatment. When I think of the medical and safety environment there, no one wants to go, because I heard from my brother-in-law that Senegal has many beautiful supermodels and polygamy is allowed here. Plus I also want to go out and have a look, so I signed up!

After many twists and turns, I came to Senegal and started my first experience here!

1. As there is no direct flight to Senegal, our group transferred from France to Dakar Joff International Airport in Senegal. After coming here, my first impression is that this airport is very small, with only one terminal and two asphalt runways, but it is the largest airport in West Africa. I can't imagine. Actually, I didn't expect that the economic development here is really slow!

2. After getting off the plane, we walked all the way to see that the environment here is not very good, but the sun is shining and the surrounding environment is clearly photographed. At first glance, the overall environment is relatively poor, and Dakar is a better city. There are many mosques and many ancient buildings similar to French style!

3. Leaving downtown Dakar and going to the suburbs can be described as "poverty", which gives me the feeling that the farther I go outside, the worse the environment. At first, it was a cement road in Dakar. After a short taxi ride, I began to have that muddy road, which was not easy to walk and dusty.

At the same time, the weather here is like fire. As soon as we got into the taxi, the sweat kept running. Although the weather is very hot, most people here are in suits and ties. It is quite strange to see people wearing slippers and shorts in the street!

The hospitable Senegalese driver answered my doubts. He said, "They are basically dressed formally and conservative outside. Although the weather is very hot, they are well dressed, but at home they dress casually! "

After learning about it, I suddenly feel that life in Senegal should be very interesting. At the same time, I was more enthusiastic and strengthened my determination to come here!

Life in Senegal

1. Senegalese people are hospitable and like dancing, especially dancing. The local people pay attention to etiquette and dress neatly. At the same time, religion has a great influence on the life customs of Senegalese. Most Christians don't eat pork, and they are also taboo about daily necessities made of pig skin and pig viscera, and they are also taboo about talking about pigs.

They also respect Islamic rules and prohibit drinking in public. So when I came here, some of my lifestyles changed slowly. I hardly drink here!

2. At the same time, Senegal is a Muslim country, and all the local people believe in Allah. They will say that their wages are given by God, and at the same time say that they should be kind-hearted and not steal, otherwise God will not let them go and send them to hell.

Of course, although some people are Muslims, there will still be some theft and robbery. Maybe they are not so afraid of their God!

The daily life of local people is different from that of China. They rest and eat from 2 pm to 3 pm every day.

Because they believe in Muslims, they have a fixed time to pray every day, several times a day, and they will start praying after five in the morning. What is the loudspeaker shouting? I basically don't understand it, but what is certain is that I can't sleep anymore, and I don't have to set an alarm clock every day, because they are punctual every day.

Senegalese people like fitness very much. Every time I go out for a walk, I will see many men and women exercising in public facilities, and many people play basketball and football. Speaking of sports, Senegalese football is still very strong. In 2002, they participated in the World Cup for the first time. They defeated the defending champion France team with 1-0 in the first round and reached the quarter-finals, which made them famous for a time.

At the same time, Senegalese also like wrestling. The most primitive movement of mankind is the quintessence of Senegalese, and it has also become the physical and mental pursuit of the people of this country. According to their wrestling rules, one side landed on all fours at the same time, or landed on his back or was thrown out of the wrestling field, which was judged as a loss. In this rule, they have their own meaning of existence.

5. In the seaside of Senegal, I still feast my eyes on the rich aquatic resources here, such as grouper, which is rare in China. I can enjoy it here, in other words, I can eat with my stomach open!

Marriage custom in Senegal

The marriage customs here are also very unique. Not only can you be polygamous, but you can also be polygamous, so the family population here is large, with 3-4 children less and 7-8 children more. Due to poor sanitary conditions, the average life expectancy is not high, and the population tends to be younger.

1. When it comes to the diverse marriage customs here, it is unexpectedly related to natural and geographical factors. Senegal is located in the westernmost part of the protruding part of western Africa, surrounded by mountains and hills, while Senegal happens to be surrounded by mountains, and Serbia has suffered from drought and flood for a long time because of the influence of savanna climate!

This makes Senegalese attach great importance to the stability and non-dispersion of the family, which has a great impact on the marriage system in Senegal. It is in this special geographical environment that such a unique polygamy system has been formed!

2. Because there are many natural disasters in Senegal, and the economic development here is slow, the local people need land and economic income, but separation will only lead to their economic weakness, especially after separation, the property will be divided into several shares, which greatly reduces the ability to resist risks, and several brothers can guarantee their family land and property by marrying, and the labor force will increase greatly, forming polygamy!

3. Senegal can not only be polygamous, but also polygamous. Men want to have more wives and children, which is also allowed by law and tradition, but it is not so easy for men to achieve this beauty. Bride gifts and houses are necessary conditions for Senegalese people to get married.

Marrying several wives in Senegal requires a bride price and a house, which is the most indispensable part of Senegalese marriage. Even in some tribes, it is necessary to pay a bride price to recognize marriage.

Besides the bride price, the house is also an important condition for Senegalese men to marry more wives. In Senegal, a wife must have a house. Please note that it's not a house, it's an independent house!

Now I finally understand why my second uncle broke up. Women here can implement the Dov system, which my second uncle can't stand. I can't stand it either!

Infrastructure in Senegal

1. When you come here, you will find that the road is really a "road". As important means of transportation, horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts can be seen everywhere, and long-distance buses are also crowded with people. Whenever the "market" day comes, residents of nearby villages and towns will greet each other and buy daily necessities for a week.

2. The water resources here are extremely scarce, and there is no domestic tap water pipeline, so the water here often needs to rely on the daily fixed water truck of the government to live.

The road here is also a traffic jam. Most roads in Senegal have no traffic lights, and all kinds of cars are intertwined. At the same time, if you drive in Senegal, please fasten your seat belt, pay attention to other vehicles, and try to avoid the behavior that easily irritates other drivers, such as honking the horn.

generally speaking

Senegal is ok in South Africa! If you want to go to Senegal, stay in the capital Dakar, where the political situation is relatively stable, the public security is barely acceptable, and the medical conditions are not bad. At the same time, Dakar is also known as the "Pearl of West Africa" and should be regarded as an international metropolis of South Africa! The living conditions here are passable, but there seems to be malaria here, so if you want to come here, you must prepare some necessary medicines in advance!
