Bad Boy From Togo

Sete, France

I brought along souvenir Cebu shirts to give away as presents. Cyril, my roommate also had tribal clothing from his home country in Togo, Africa. Subtly, I hinted that it would be nice to bring one home. With a big smile, he handed one to me. I was delighted. This is something special I thought to myself. Then I took my shirts for him to choose from. To my dismay, he refused to get one. I said, What can I give you in exchange for this? He said matter-of-factly, 15 Euros.
