First travel of 2022, with my friend Vincent from Belgium. Before this trip, he has never had a passport nor did he left Europe before. Our first trip together, took us to The Gambia, west Africa. A country, 3 times smaller than Belgium.


The Centre, which is the first among many projects lined for the Gambiaโs hosting of the 2022 OIC summit, took about two years to build by the Chinese construction team and a large team of Gambian experts who were praised by works minister Bai Lamin Jobe for their diligence and hard work. The minister said the project employed over 1000 people including 500 permanent jobs.
