Hey im doing a school project on Djibouti and i was wondering if you would help me clear a few things....What are there favorite past times over there? like what do they do for fun? and i was also wondering if you could send me a few pictures from Djibouti. It would really mean a lot to me and my Geography grade if you would please reply.

Feel free to use some of the photos on my website that I've taken. I think the ones of Lake Assal would be especially good. As for free time activities, I think water sports are popular, but the main activity (and I hate to say it) is chewing Khat. There is a really good article on Khat and Djibouti in general at the Esquire magazine website. Just go to their website and search for Djibouti and Khat. It should come up. I also have a link to the same article on my site. My web address is:

Still I'm not sure if this would be an appropriate topic for your assignment. Anyway, good luck!!

Why you hate to say it Russ? Qat is great. Djibuti is great. It a happy little place with all peoples come to trade over a cup of qat and a game of chess. It's the best of Africa with French, Ethiopian and Arab flavours. It is the friendliest, most relaxed country I been in.
If you want to set up in Africa, this is the place to be!

Hmmm ... I'm not sure that Khat is great. It seems to add to the poverty because people who are making very little money or don't have a job at all are spending it on Khat. It also trashes work productivity. Just my opinion.
