Without this mention, the story of the Gambia would be incomplete. The Gambia has the reputation of a "second Zanzibar", in the sense that a middle-aged white female tourist is unlikely to be left without male attention here. "Beach animators" will not let her get bored.
You go to the beach with a lady - and right in your presence they will start asking her for a phone number or an account in social networks. You go out without a lady - and it turns out that the local boy also really needs a male friend, because he is so lonely. You treat the boy with beer - and you will hear how he is raising a child alone, but everything needs money, he tries to give the boy a better education, but money is needed for everything, by the way, he helps his older brother, who was left without a leg, but this damned money ... If I would add that my uncle's favorite mule died, it would be a one-on-one story of any Thai prostitute (don't ask me how I know).
In a word, if you are tired of looking at old white people walking in the company of young Cubans or Filipinos, welcome to the Gambia, everything is the opposite there.
