    As in a mainly Muslim country, people don't use toilet rolls in the WC but water.
    There is a local company which created a kind of plastic teapot for this purpose.
    It is funny see people going with their teapot, you know where they go.

    Sometimes, the problem is that the WC seat is full of water when you wan to use it.

  • Reading the Coran is wonderful, it gives you mainly a message of peace. When I see that a lot of people use Coran to justify their crime (like Christians were using the Bible some centuries ago), I am happy to see that in Mali, there is no jihad and terrorisme based on Coran.
    People here are religious. They respect the Muslim traditions and they also respect other traditions. There is no war because you are white or Christian.

    I can just say: "Take Mali as an example".

    There aren't wild animals in Mali. Is this medicine the reason?
