The “4 O’s” region in northern Namibia is home to about half of Namibia’s population.\u00a0 One of the first thing an outsider notices driving through the area is the descriptive and colorful paint jobs on the houses that line the main roads throughout the area.\u00a0 Many of them are bars.\u00a0 Below is a collection of bars, or “shebeens” I snapped from a moving car on the road between Ondangwa and Oshakati.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because when you go there, you feel all sunshine-y inside?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stay away from the apples in this place…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey, wait – wasn’t there another Top Twenty Bar?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t stop to ask if there were rooms available…<\/p>\n
