It is a longstory ...

In Lomé, the capital of Togo, you could see everywhere big contrasts, old fishing boats in the harbour and new industry areas, highways and roads full of sandy dust, people driving expensive limousines and women carrying goods on their heads. We see a lot of poverty, but the live is always vibrating and the people are very friendly and open minded. It takes less then some minutes and you are in contact with people who want to know where you are coming from, what you're doing and they know more about European football then me. And I was surprised that some young people could speak german very well.
