Well when I go, usually in the winter season Boston gets very cold and snowy and in Djibouti there’s no such thing as winter so it’s the perfect time and I’ve been there 12 times and the longest stay I had was 3 months, but even then I don’t get bothered when I’m taking pictures of whatever wherever whenever. It’s just the fact that you don’t really know the local languages to tell them to F off or befriend a local (advice to people who want to go there) and then they’ll never ever bother you.
