Thilo and Leonie, living aboard their sailboat in Gambia, spend Eid al-Fitr — the end of Ramadan — with a local friend named G and his extended family in a Gambian village.0:21 G had traditional robes custom-made by a tailor for both of them as a surprise gift, and they wore them to a communal prayer gathering at the village football field, where hundreds of people assembled for the Imam's sermon.0:38 Afterward, the group went to G's family compound, where multiple brothers, wives, and children share a courtyard with a communal water point and cooking hut.4:15 Leonie cooked alongside the women for roughly three hours, preparing a dish called Domoda and couscous in large vessels over a coal fire on the ground, feeding the family and all neighboring households.6:30 Men and women ate separately, sharing communal plates on the floor without utensils.6:41 Back aboard, Leonie and Thilo reflect on the gender divide they observed: the men described the holiday as joyful, while the women found it exhausting labor.10:05 They also note that polygamy is practiced — G's father had two wives and twelve children total.10:45 The experience underscored how different daily life in Gambia is from even the most minimal Western lifestyle.
