“Yeah… the funniest story… you know, in Senegal, we do not have winter. We just have two seasons. The cold season, is called la saison sèche, and the rainy season is called also la saison des pluies…”

Yeah, the funny story, you know, in Senegal, we do not have winter. We just have two seasons. The cold season is called saison sèche rainy season, and it’s called saison des pluies.

So with me, I didn’t know what winter is. So when I live in Senegal, to New York, to the airport GfK, that day was very cold. That was freezing at the time. So I couldn’t handle it. My clothes was very light. I didn’t wear a jacket or something like this. So immediately I called my family over there in Senegal. I tell them I have to go back because I cannot I will not survive in this weather. Whenever I remember these things, okay. That made me laugh.
