Freetown, Sierra Leone: Street Living
The streets of Sierra Leone are different than any other country I have visited. It is just a different look, feel, energy, sound and smell.
Sierra Leoneans use the streets of their cities as their living space which includes kitchen, living area and sometimes bedroom. It is their market, place of business, place to socialize and have fun. Please look at the 2-minute slow motion street scene video and the sights will fill in the absent sounds and smells.
Other visuals: ice cream vendor selling cones for 20 cents, wood fired clothing iron in a tailor shop, a furniture maker, barber shop, belching exhausts, amazing side streets, entertaining moto-taxi signs (called Ke Keh in Sierra Leone), and (perhaps tongue in cheek) Submissive Wife Restaurant and Husband is the Head Supermarket, football practice on the beach at sunset and so much more.
This is a fascinating country!
