Robert: THE STAR OF MANHATTAN

Excuse my clique but there is another side to the big apple I could not discover while I was in Africa. 'Where ever happens where ever you have good people there are of course bad ones'

What happened to me last Tuesday at the prestigious Millenium Manhattan Hotel made me to once again beleive that despite our frustrations and fears, the world is still a safe and reliable place to live in. I have been taking memorable pictures of New York City and a number of the people who had been depending on me to print the pictures once I return to the Banjul could not beleive it when I told them the digital camera was lost.
Somehow, I thought all was lost until our Gambian cab driver told me to be optimistic, adding that I would surely see it because nothing in Manhattan get lost. The area, he went on was highly sophiscated for a small digital like the one I'm holding to get lost. The next day when I return to the Millenium Hotel, I told the Commonwealth official that I could not send the photos I had taken because my camera was lost...

Somehow one of my colleagues returned from the lobby, only to tell me to come forward and identify my camera from one Mr. Robert who is a doorman at the Millenium Hotel. I understand from the man that the camera was found on top of the metal bars standing close to the main gate of the hotel. Wow! I exclaimed, I got another man who told me another side of the U.S. Who knows what will happen before I leave the U.S?
