Hi Ebrima
ReplyDeleteThats a nice write up. Mr Karki did not come to The Gambia knowing that it was a paceful country - it was on his route - BUT once he arrived here he commented that its completely different from all those he has visited. the serenity and friendliness he has encountered here leaves a mark on him. Ive been reading your blog - was searching for the contnuation of your sejour in India...
Cheers
Ram Mohan
