  • Favorite Thing: I was in Ouéléssédougou, between Bougouni and Bamako.
    Suddenly I saw this incredible cloud in front of me.
    It was no atomic bomb, but just a storm preparing to fall on the town.

  • Favorite Thing: Markets are full of colours. However, even if you can find very cheap stuffs there, it is sometimes too expensive for many people. Some retailers are opening the boxes of pasta, rice, etc and sell small portions of them in plastic bags. A portion as big as a fist can satisfy the poorest for one day and costs around 100 CFA (20cents).
