And they speak French. Which means French food...and wine. And all that that entails. I hear Senegal is quite nice.

From what I've heard about Dakar, "peaceful" is the last thing that comes to mind....but hey, you're from there, you would be the one to know it! I definately believe the nice beaches part...are there a lot of european tourists?

Just curious: who is the sign advertising to? Don't know much about the country but i wonder how many of the people there can afford an X5?

What can I say? Seeing orphaned children line up for a simple soup feeding and be full of love and laughter kind of changes your perspective on things. Namibia is about 2x the size of California and has no speed limits to speak of. Narrow, dangerous, and game-crossed roads, but perfext X5 country. As you exit the airport, there is this single billboard:

Woow I guess we're not talking about the same city:confused:. Do you realize that 80% of the cops in Senegal don't carry guns, they walk around with empty holsters. Gun crimes are virtually non-existent in Dakar. There is a HUGE French and Libanese cummunity estabilish there sinces the 60's. Dakar is a very cosmopolite city and biggest tourist destination in West Africa. Try yahoo.fr to get an idea, it's at the doorstep of Paris and very affordable. Here is a semi-touristic site that has some good info:thumbup:! http://www.ausenegal.com/index_en.php

Don't know much about Namibia but you'd be VERY surprised. There is a decent size population of most African nations that can afford an X5 and more. Car manufactures don't advertise jusy for the fun of it.

I understand that there are different sections of a city, but this is what I turned up :confused: LINK
Is there a resort/beach area that's away from the city that is nice?

:iagree: I have seen pretty much every luxury car in Dakar. Lot of MBs and BMWs. But, I believe Peugeot(sp?) is the most popular car.
