Cheeky Ethiopian girls - Hargeisa, Somaliland

December 25th 2013
It is one of the least visited tourist destinations in the world. The mostly empty Ethiopian Airlines flight contained just one other fellow traveller as our small plane uneasily bobbled to its destination of Hargeisa in Somaliland.

The most honest people in the world?
Somaliland sounds like a lovely place, and how great that you found some cheeky girls to photograph--not always so easy for a man in a Muslim country. Why do you think the money and gold set out on the street was so safe? Are these people the most honest in the whole world, or was there a perhaps-discreet police presence and stiff penalties for thievery? Really impressive!
