[@hawhee]

Your English is very good!

[@travel_with_phil]

Thanks, Kenya is a bilingual country (English and Swahili)

[@hawhee]

This seems like a very realistic presentation of Cotonou. I like your video style. It shows me what I would experience if I was to visit the city.

[@travel_with_phil]

Thank you very much! I try as much as I can to present places I visit as they are

[@alosselouis5683]

Thank for bringing memories back

[@travel_with_phil]

It is my pleasure

[@tianabrown3074]

[@madodeclotilde2129]

Your guide is right for the names of the bridges : old bridge(ancien pont), New bridge(nouveau pont).

[@travel_with_phil]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I would suggest to not speed up the videos and let them play at their normal speeds. It would allow to watch the cities more naturally :). Keep up the good work!

[@travel_with_phil]

Thanks for watching and your suggestion. I edit all my videos myself and I am still learning on the job😁

[@medardzohoun7460]

About the brigde he is right.... The one on which you were, is the old bridge the next at the middle is the new brigde and the last one is the third bridge or dantokpa bridge too

[@travel_with_phil]

Thanks, I legit thought he was making it up since he didn't know😂

[@lennyams9892]

Actually the one next to the old bridge is the third bridge and the one at Tokyo’s is the new bridge so it’s the old the new and the third which is the newest

[@Eche7777]

The name of the bridge is ancient pon.. it has a rail line on it

[@travel_with_phil]

Yes, I saw the rail, but it is not functional I guess

[@israelapduhan3113]

Most Americans nowadays dont know that black Americans came here most of them. West Africa.

Question: do many Americans visit Benin?

[@travel_with_phil]

I can't say for sure but it is worth visiting, I don't speak French at all but I got by just fine. The people are really friendly.

[@feliciennezodji8208]

Good 👍 how would you take me there

[@travel_with_phil]

Cotonou is safety in West Africa

[@travel_with_phil]

Cotonou is pretty safe

[@tanayprabhavalkar2497]

It's very surprising. Almost all of the West African countries speak French except Ghana. 😆😆😆

[@travel_with_phil]

It is because they were colonized by Britain, Nigeria, Sierra Leone too, and Liberia by America. So the 4 have English as the official language

[@tanayprabhavalkar2497]

@@travel_with_phil I meant to say that all the direct neighbors of Ghana are French. Benin, Cote d Ivoire, Burkina Faso. You get that?
