We just ate lunch at Steers (hamburgers) and Debonair's Pizza. We used to eat at these places all the time in Abidjan and Johannesburg. They've been working on getting these restaurants open since the beginning of the year.
I never really liked Steers hamburgers before, too chunky with who knows what beef parts. But, the one today was good, really good. I've had Steers in Dakar, Abidjan, Accra, and Jo'burg, but today's was the best. Do I sound like a homer? Maybe.
The prices are steep around $7 to $9 for burger, fries, and coke. So, we can't go all the time, but just knowing it's there is a positive thing mentally.
I'm at the Internet cafe. There's a Chinese teenager sitting across from me humming "Let It Be" by the Beatles which is playing on the sound system here. There's a French guy on the other side of the table, and a Lebanese guy and a Beninois guy on the other side of the room. I can overhear conversations in about five languages, while burping South African burgers. Just another day in Cotonou.
