A trip that will show you the difficulties faced in the world

The capital of Gambia is a place of contrasts. Despite being the country's biggest city, the structures are tiny, the tallest is the Arch 22, a bow in the middle of the city that is prohibited to pass through. Everyone must go around except the head of state. Most streets are unpaved and not clean, as in the rest of the population of Gambia is made once a month, so it really depends on the day you visit, whether or not the streets will be clean. In Banjul the streets are full of "shops" where they sell all kinds of things and of people going from one place to another running errands, but there are also many places to see.

The Royal Victoria Teaching hospital offers guided tours in return for a donation. It is worth seeing because you can understand the difficulties faced in these countries. When we went to see one of the best rooms, the "laboratory", the doctor explained he was excited because a few months ago he couldn´t do analysis, and explained in detail what was this process. I was also struck by the X-ray room, as they had a machine that had given the British in 1970 or so but did not work for two years. Seriously, it's an amazing place. In Banjul we can also see the National Museum, which has some exhibits dated but we can draw a lot of attention, for example, here sets out the dress she wore Miss Gambia in 1984. Another life hotspot that you can visit is the St. Joseph's Adult Education. It is an education center for more than 20 years dedicated to helping disadvantaged women. These places are really worth a visit and is a must walk hours through this capital to understand the serious differences that exist in these countries. It's indescribable, a must see
