Cotonou's Crowded Marketplace
George Bush recently visited Cotonou, Benin. Something tells me he didn't wander far enough from the airport to experience the city's bustling Danktopa marketplace. The most ridiculously chaotic place I've ever seen. According to Wikipedia, the market has a turnover of $1 billion CFA ($2.26 million) per day--mostly on transactions under $5!
Here are a few pics of the harbor at the north end of the market, where thousands arrive via boat every hour to do their shopping.
For a better taste of just how wild this place is, watch a few of my videos from another section of this market.
