Found this Dubai look in Cotonou

Two days ago was a friend's birthday (Mr Ramon)which we didn't start celebrating until 1am Thursday morning, so we decided to hit a spot we usually go for fun, but sadly it was closed. What overtuned the upset was what we found adjacent to the spot, never thought this would be done somewhere in Africa, I have had friends asked me when I went to Dubai or some even asked if I went to Thailand when I made one of the pictures my display picture on Whatsapp

That was the celebrant staring at the 2018 monument with admiration
Well the rest are selfies of me enjoying the lightings

We actually met the workers who set the lighting up but due to language barrier(they spoke French and thier local language of which we barely understood any so there wasn't much of a way to ask what/who was the inspiration behind the setup

Beautiful tunnel isn't it?
