Improving the sun

The guy across from me on the ferry, who after a long time spent talking about me to the girl beside him finally decided to talk to me instead, told me tourist season opens November 26 and it will close soon (this was back in March, by now he would certainly say tourist season had ended). He asked if there was anything I didn’t like about The Gambia.

I told him, “The sun.”

He said most tourists like the sun. Anything else?

“The mosquitoes.”

He said he works in the tourist industry; he wants to learn my opinion so that he can try to improve these things and make The Gambia more pleasant for tourists.

“But I think you cannot do anything about the sun?”  I asked.
 “Hehe, no.”
“Or the mosquitoes.”
“…no.”
