What kind of country is Senegal?
I've seen my brother-in-law's girlfriend. She has a sexy figure and charming eyes, which is in line with our type of marriage. But when it comes to marriage, my brother-in-law chose to break up. I'm puzzled about this, too. I didn't understand the real trouble of my brother-in-law 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 where the conditions are bad and the environment is very bad, so many people are reluctant to go!
In this regard, the company also offered 1, yuan in high salary and position. When I thought about the medical environment and safety environment there, no one wanted to go, because I heard from my brother-in-law that Senegal is rich in beautiful women and supermodels, and polygamy is also allowed here. In addition, I wanted 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. Because there is no direct flight to Senegal, our group transferred from France to Dakar Jof International Airport in Senegal. After coming here, my first impression was 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 it. In fact, 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 poor, and the city of Dakar is better. There are many mosques and many ancient buildings similar to French style!
3. After leaving the downtown area of Dakar, the environment in the suburbs can be described as "poor" too much, and it gives me the feeling that the farther I go outside, the worse the environment is. At first, it was a cement road in the downtown area of Dakar. After a short taxi ride, I began to have that kind of muddy road, which was not very good and dusty.
At the same time, the weather here is like fire. As soon as we get into the taxi, our hot sweat keeps flowing. Although the weather is very hot, most people here are in suits and ties, and 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 conservatively outside. Although the weather is very hot, they also dress well, but at home they dress casually!"
After getting to know it, I suddenly feel that Senegalese people's life should be very interesting. At the same time, they are more enthusiastic and suddenly strengthened their determination to come here!
Senegalese life
1. Senegalese people are hospitable and like dancing, especially hand-inspired. Local people pay attention to etiquette and dress neatly. At the same time, religion has a great influence on Senegalese life customs. Most Christians don't eat pork, and they are also taboo to use daily necessities made of pig skin and pig viscera, and they are also taboo to talk about pigs.
They also respect Islamic rules and are forbidden to drink alcohol in public. So when I came here, some of my lifestyles changed slowly, and I hardly drink much here!
2. At the same time, Senegal is a Muslim country, and the local people all believe in Allah. They will say that their wages are paid by Allah, and at the same time, they say that they should be kind-hearted and not steal, otherwise Allah 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 Allah!
3. The daily routine of local people is not the same as that in China. They have a rest and eat every afternoon from 2: to 3: .
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 o'clock in the morning. What is the loud speaker shouting? I basically didn't understand it either, but what is certain is that I can't sleep anymore, and I basically don't have to set the alarm clock every day, because they are punctual every day.
4. Senegalese people like fitness very much. Every time they go out for a stroll, they will see many men and women working out in public facilities, and there are also many people who play basketball and football. Speaking of sports, Senegalese football is still very strong. They once participated in the World Cup for the first time in 22, and beat the defending champion France 1- in the first round, and all the way to the quarter-finals, gaining a reputation for a time.
At the same time, Senegalese also like wrestling. The most primitive sport of human beings 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, a person who touches the ground on all fours at the same time, or touches the ground on his back, or is thrown out of the wrestling field is judged as a loser. In this rule, they have their own survival significance.
5. On the seashore of Senegal, the rich aquatic resources here still made me feast my eyes, such as grouper, which is rare in China. I can enjoy it here, in other words, I can eat it with my stomach open!
Marriage customs in Senegal
The marriage customs here are also unique. There can be not only polygamy, but also polygamy, so there are many people in the family here, ranging from 3-4 children to 7-8 children. Because of poor sanitation, the average life expectancy is not high, and the population is mostly younger.
1. Speaking of the diverse marriage customs here, it is unexpected that it is also related to natural and geographical factors. Senegal is located in the westernmost part of the protruding part of western Africa, and it is surrounded by mountains and hills, and Senegal happens to be surrounded by mountains, and Serbia has been suffering from drought and flood for a long time because of the influence of savanna climate!
This makes Senegalese attach great importance to family stability and non-dispersion, which has a great influence on Senegalese marriage system. It is in this special geographical environment that such a unique polyandry 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 parts, which greatly reduces the risk resistance. However, several brothers can guarantee the family's land and property by marrying a wife, and the labor force will also increase greatly, thus forming a polyandry system!
3. Senegal can not only be polygamous, but also polygamous, where men want to have more wives and children, which is also allowed in terms of laws and traditions, but it is not so easy for men to realize this beauty. Bridal gifts and houses are necessary conditions for Senegalese to marry.
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, marriage can only be recognized after paying the bride price.
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 is not a house, but an independent house!
Now I finally understand why my second uncle broke up. Women here can practice the Dove system, which is unbearable for my second uncle. I can't stand it either!
Senegal's infrastructure
1. When you come here, you will find that the road is really a "road". As an important means of transportation, carriages and donkey carts can be seen everywhere, and long-distance buses are also crowded with people and goods. Whenever the "market" day comes, residents of nearby villages and towns will greet each other to buy daily necessities for a week.
2. The water resources here are extremely scarce, and there is no domestic tap water pipeline. The water here often needs to rely on the government's daily fixed water tanker to live.
3. The roads here are also traffic jams. Most roads in Senegal have no traffic lights, and all kinds of cars come and go 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 behaviors that are easy to irritate other drivers, such as honking.
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 law and order is barely acceptable, and the medical conditions are not bad. At the same time, Dakar is also known as the "Pearl of West Africa", which 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!
