One really interesting thing about here is that because we are so near to the equator the sun passes almost directly overhead which causes the sunrises and sunsets to be incredibly fast. It can be kind of dangerous because you may think you have time to get home before dark, but the sun sets (like from daylight to complete darkness) in about 2O minutes. I hate walking home in the dark here, not because I am afraid for my safety in terms or robbers or assailants, but because the roads are in such bad shape I am afraid of twisting am ankle!
