Shanghai was the section of town for rich Italians during the colonial time . Most buildings are torn down however, some are good for renovation and they should be renewed because is a historical site

Despite the destruction you can see the beautiful Italian architecture that once existed. Visiting and walking around the light house is great especially for photography.

It was quite an adventure to wander through the narrow streets of the dilapidated and dirty center of Mogadishu! I also went to the market where they cut tuna.
P.s. For safety, I took the machine gunner as security.

Hello Najib,
I am working on a book about refugees in our area (Vermont, USA) and will be including life stories of several Somalias who have
resettled here, from Kismayo and Mogadishu. I like your photo from Shanghai Old City and am interested in using it in our book.
Would that be acceptable to you? I would of course give you credit and send you a copy of the finished book.
It seems to be somewhat difficult to get photos from Somalia that are not about war, piracy or famine. Anyone have photos from the Kismayo area: farming scenes in the fertile Jubba River area, for example? Or photos showing Colonial architecture? City street scenes?
Best regards,
Jared Gange
