Now I know Djibouti has two town centres: one for the foreigners, which is nearer to the embassy area, where we can find all the pubs, french or chinese cuisines, pharmacy, parfume shop as well as some government offices here......the streets are crowded of french every weekend and things are expensive.....due to french invasion, the living standard here is as high as in Europe, or even higher. Most of the goods and food are imported from Europe, mainly from France, such as milk, juices, butter, instant noodles,magazines, ketchup etc......u can imagine how expensive to stay in Djibouti coz even basic things like that are imported....a bottle of beer sold USD4.50-5.70 in pubs and restaurants....an average Chinese dinner costs asround USD12 (including a beer and a meal)...nothing here is cheap!
But the other town centre for locals is a totally different scenario...I wish I have more time to explore it..... The last time I passed by and only managed to take some pics ....like Cornal said he could spend weeks taking photographs in this friendly town.....
