Why is it that when comming through Banjul Airport the chaos and delay that is created by having your baggage searched. Coming from the Uk you have allready been through the most stringent baggage check in the world (Outside the USA)So what they looking?

| anything electrical, mobile phones, vidoes, charges, that they can put a "COST TAX" on it, this is illegal, but who stops them no one, it causes choas. What is wrong with bringing mobile phones into the country, each one will need credit, each one will make money for the phone companies, it is this kind of welcome that give a bad impression of gambia |

| Gambia is a third world country,but that dosn't mean that its not a great place and most of the people are super,arrivals at the airport at Yundum are essentially money on legs. MOST Gambians do not have much money,it is understandable therefore that human nature takes over,mobile phones being a case in point SIM cards are thrown away and GAMCEL or Africell cards acquired,everyone in Gambia wants a mobile phone and are prepared to pay for it to keep in touch, word of mouth information is vital to Gambians if they can make a "friend" of a tourist even better the tourist can phone them,and doubtless their lives will become easier.It appears evident that Gambians have trouble with structures involving management of employees, who are in most cases not well paid. |
