I do believe the number of motos in the capital has increased noticeably since I've been here. Especially the Chinese made "Jakarta" motos. I can't imagine what it would be like to a Malian, like the one who I met in CDG, who had left for France in 1988 and hasn't been back until now. What amuses me are the items one frequently sees being carried/dragged with a moto:
- The family (Mommy, Daddy, and three kids)
- A sappling
- Meters and meters of rebar, dragging behind, sending up sparks
- A HUGE mess of bean leaves
- A sheep
- Crate of bread
- 4 chickens
- A 4m plank of wood

Hi!
I found your blog searching for a recipe for wijilla - and have read the lot this afternoon. I've never been to Mali but I would love to, one day; your blog has spurred me on even more. Thanks!
