Bamako market

  • In the centre of Bamako are a lot of market stalls and shops, where you can buy nearly everything like clothes, indigo, beads, music, music instruments, jewellery... name it.

    In 1993 the Grand Marché burnt down, so this picture of 1989 of the market can be history now?

  • Everywhere in Mail you find supermarchés or epiceries, where you can buy mineral water, softdrinks, sugar, coffee and other stuff, like in this shop in Kayes.

    I asked the shopkeeper, if I could make a picture of his shop. He gave me permission and was very proud. I liked these shops, especially the way the products are heaped on shelves along the wall, forming almost a wonderful piece of art.

    What To Buy: In this shop in Kayes we bought boxes with bottles of mineral water, trays with tins of coke and sprite. Some of my fellow-travellers were very excited, because they saw bavaria beer. It turned out to be non-alcoholic beer with a caramel taste !

     Wow, great picture of the trees. We definitely don't have trees like that in Malaysia.
