Discovering Watt market, in Calabar

Little catering this morning ?

Woah, feeling vegetarian today...
(must be antelope meat)

Well, not exactly ready to cook...

Some grasscutter ? can't eat this if you already saw one alive, too cute
(but I didn't when I taste them - it was good!)
This highly priced bush meat is considered as a delicacy.


Ok, today it will be macrobiotic diet !


Yam is as common in Nigeria as potato in Europe
His nigerian name is adamwanga, which means Adamo's food,
but not the Adam you think



Periwinkle (thanks to Sol) is how these small marine snails are called.
They seem to be the local most common winkles

Food and Smiles at Calabar market

Unforgettable moments with adorable people






Speaking French with a lady from Benin

The armchair was there, in the corner

the children were around me

I just asked them to sit down

and they smiled at me

The girl with a yellow hat was smiling too

A charming guy proposing a ride on his bike

A handsome guy and a great byke indeed

Second hand books and some nice discoveries !

From Lagos toward Benin border...

I'd like you could feel a part of my emotion...
Imagine the traffic's roar, the harmattan's yellowish sky,
the dusty air,
the biggest noise and confusion in the world,
with trucks, vans, taxis, cars, motorbykes and pedestrians
criss-crossing all around in a huge slowdown...







































We are reaching the border now, no cameras.
dammit, I couldn't shoot the best part of it !
