What are you worried about exactly ?
People are very welcoming and Dakar is very busy like very busy!

Hello, I would have to search the streets to try and find my friends, we have lost touch with each other and I am a older white male and I am not a fighter so to some people I might just look like prey.

A Dakar les gens sont tr猫s gentils et tr猫s accueillant. Et ils ne sont pas fain茅ant. Ils ne te prennent pas pour une proie ils cherchent seulement 脿 te proposer de travailler pour toi comme garder ta voiture porter ton sac te vendre quelque chose. Tu dis oui ou tu dis non c est tout. Mais il faut savoir qu un blanc est un riche et donc que tu es en capacit茅 de donner du travail. Un touriste est un porte feuille sur pattes mais il ne sera jamais violent茅. Les gens proposent et le touriste dispose. Tu peux en tant que blanc 锚tre tr猫s heureux au S茅n茅gal c est un pays de paix.

The Senegalese are the nicest people on earth, full of integrity and self-respect.

I compare them a bit to the Japanese.
