Swakopmund, Namibia is amazing. Journey to Africa 2018
After visiting South Africa, Mozambique, Swaziland and Botswana, Namibia has become a bright spot for me against the backdrop of all of Africa. It seems that I did not end up in an African country, but on a separate island in the ocean. I was struck by the purity and beauty of Namibia. The city of Swakopmund I attributed to an interesting city. This region of the country reminded me of the Atlantic coast of the Netherlands. Namibia somehow does not fit in my thoughts that it is still an African country, but much better and more beautiful. The answer is simple. There are many white people in Namibia who love order. Most whites live in Swakopmund, and they own almost everything in this city, with the exception of houses on the outskirts of the city, where strongly tanned residents live, where the African attitude to the land on which they live is noticeable. Dirty and dusty. True, it is dusty throughout the city, because the famous sands of Namibia are nearby. Dust is the only drawback here, which spoiled my camera.
Now, as I understand it, in Africa everything depends on who lives in the cities and who manages them. When Mandella expelled the whites from the northern and central part of South Africa, these areas turned into evil spirits, and what the white inhabitants created is gradually being destroyed. Today in South Africa it is beautiful mainly in the south, where the white part of the population fled, fenced off with barbed wire. The dark part of the population can only work under duress. I feel sorry for South Africa, once a very beautiful country. Equality, like revolutions, does not always bring the desired result.
Swakopmund in Namibia is like Sochi for Russia. People come here to swim, go to national parks, and arrange hellish races on the sands and dunes of Namibia in jeeps. I don’t understand Russian rich people who drive heavy jeeps around small towns in Russia, where there are narrow streets and many pedestrians. Apparently, they are impatient to show their wealth. Here in Africa, I appreciated the value of heavy jeeps. Here is their element, and space for them. I rode some jeeps, from which only rusty pieces of iron remained, but he still climbs uphill and flies across the sands.
Our newly-minted rich people from the village of Svinyukino are far from the European culture of car ownership. In European cities, even ministers drive around in small cars or bicycles. But in Russia? For Europe, a car is a means of transportation, but in Russia it is a form of wealth and prosperity.
The most profitable wives. Cape on the thigh and beads. And ours?
They offered me to stay with them. They said they would love me very much.
One was offended because I didn't hug her.
