気ままにダカール街歩き

2006/06/16 - 2006/06/26

西アフリカ随一の大都市であるセネガルの首都ダカール。
言われる通り、高層ビルがちらほら建ち並び世界チェーンのホテルも見られ、おしゃれなカフェやレストランもあり、人通りや車も多く、活気溢れる街であった。
仏植民地時代の面影をとどめる建物が残されており、ちょっと足を延ばせばアフリカ大陸最西端の地アルマディ岬まで行けるなどのんびりと街歩きを楽しむことができる。
しかしその一方で、路上での物乞いやスラム的な地区、危険臭の漂う裏通りなど陰の部分もあるわけだが、これはアフリカのどの街にも共通して存在する一面であるのかもしれない。
あと個人的な印象だが、セネガル人は色が黒くて背が高い！そして底抜けに明るいというイメージを抱いた。
