 bamako elementary school by Alpha_Ghana Schools are at their simplest expression. It is more or less mandatory however few people can read and write in Mali. Even so called high educated managers or Ministers cannot right correctly. I have received a letter from the Minister of Finance with 15 errors on one sheet. A disaster!!!
I visited schools and I am always surprised of the warm welcome I received. Leave a Comment

 post office by Alpha_Ghana There are no postmen in Mali, there are no addresses. If you want to receive mail, you need to have a PO BOX in a post office. Addresses are all lie BP and a number or BP E- and a number. BP is for Boîte Postale or Postal Box and the "E" is for "étage" when you box is on the first floor of the post office. Post is very slow, it takes more than one month from Bamako to Europe. They open all envelopes to foreign countries, more particularly Europe and USA to check if they cannot steal something. All my correspondants in Europe complain that the mail has been open. Last time, I sent some chocolates for the birth of my son, and envelopes had been open, chocolates stolen. Just the card was there but very dirty. Leave a Comment

by sociolingo Visit the Artisana - the Artisan market. The gold and silver jewellery there is beautiful and relatively inexpensive. Look at the filigree work.
Sitting up on the hill by the Presidents palace over looking Bamako - a lovely spot for a picnic. Leave a Comment
