Benin Girls
Benin is a small country West African country that sits in between its larger neighbor Nigeria and the even smaller nation of Togo. It is not quite as large as Pennsylvania, but with its location on the South Atlantic, on a body of water known as the Bight of Benin, it has better beaches than the Keystone State.
Benin was a French colony from 1892 until 1960 and the official language is French, though most people outside of the major cities speak one of the native languages in daily life. However, if you are looking for a Benin bride you probably want to have a passable knowledge of French before you visit, because it will make everything a lot easier.
However, even if you are reasonably fluent in French you might want a translator if you go to visit a Benin girl, because the difference between the French of the French Academy, the French you learned in high school in Alabama or Arizona, and the French as spoken in Benin might be so different that you need a translator for your first few days. This is often the case if you are visiting a country where you know the language, but did not learn it from someone with the local accent and pronunciation as the country you are visiting.
Benin has about eight million people and for many guys Benin girls are attractive, because the country has developed a booming tourism industry in the last decade. However, it’s not Las Vegas, so don’t expect five star resorts. Still it has a much more developed tourism industry than many of the other small nations of West Africa which are still really backpacking destinations. The beach resorts are a great value and might remind season travelers of say Thai resorts in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
One issue worth considering before booking a flight to Benin is that you probably want to avoid visiting your Benin bride during either of the two separate wet seasons. The first rainy season is from April to July and the other starts in September continues through October. You probably want to avoid visiting your Benin girl during these periods, because of the discomfort, but also because the torrential rain makes traveling around the country much more difficult.
