This is not the infamous Patpong Bangkok night market
No seedy strip joints or similar activities, this is Niamey
Just street vendors gathering like moths around the rare light spots
There is a very minimal equipment in public lighting
And when the big shops will close it will become a pitch dark city
Lit by isolated shimmering neon at some home’s gates and the cars’ headlights
