It looks like I might be going to Cotonou in Benin for a week through work.
Has anyone been and is there anything to do in the evening?

Cheers

I thouht this might be a long shot, oh well.

Only been to Togo (Lome) myself.

Hardly a hub of high life 🙂 But the black magic market was interesting. And the peanuts in the J&B whisky bottles were fantastic.

Lucky sod! Where in the country? If it’s anything like Nigerian culture you’ll love the night life.

This is more encouraging, I can feel a night time ‘let’s just see what happens’ adventure coming on.

Do it. Only suggestion is to stick strongly to the nice/ more expensive areas. Don’t follow any one you don’t know to a ‘house party’…

You knew all that already though.

How bizarre’ish I’m off to Benin City in Nigeria next week, I tend not to venture out after dark too much in Nigeria.

Ska, always nice to receive cautious advice. I’m being hosted by the French military though so should have a bit of top cover. Then again some of my scariest nights have been spent in the company of uniformed men.

Just realised that my last post could be taken in a variety of ways :-}

You’re name suggest you’re fully prepared. Get yourself a gold AKA and you’ll be safe. Sounds like you’ll be fine. Enjoy!
