Why Lonely Planet was right...for once

Dakar market really is full of the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) street vendors in the world.  I really don't appreciate being called racist, told to go back to my own country and kicked because I don't want to be followed around, talk to someone trying to sell me something or be dragged into a shop to buy something I don't want... It's such a shame because I know that Senegalese people can be so welcoming and friendly - their motto is Teranga after all which means welcoming - but if anyone came here just as a tourist they might never know, some twit (change the vowel) could just spoil it for everyone!
