Violence after Togo 2-1 Mali
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Odd stuff
This week-end, short before the end of the football game opposing Togo to Mali, in Bamako, the supporters interrupted the game after the second togolese goal, and rushed on the playground, making the police use tear gas to contain the mob.
The game has been won 2-1 by Togo.
The angry supporters damaged a lot of the malian capital's monuments and building.
They were also reclaiming the heads of some team members and football league officials.
Around a hundred people were arrested on that day.
This is a very saddening reaction to a sport game.
I hope the malian governement will soon clear this issue and set an example so as to keep this from happening anywhere esle in Africa.

Chefchaouen
Mood:  happy
Topic: My wanderings
Wow, there are some nice places on this earth, and Chefchaouen is one of them. J and I went up north last week-end, and got to visit this little town nested between the mountains. It - is - beau-ti-ful!!
Many things almost convinced us to not go there: the reputation of the place, as a drug-selling center and someone told J that there are cases of meningitis found there.Brrr!
Good thing we didn't come across any drug dealer nor human-biting disease-spreading insect.
The place is soooo romantic and sooo cute! The people there are charming and so nice. An ongoing atmosphere of feast was reigning in the place. So happy and warm.
The colours around are gorgeous, everywhere you can see white-and-blue or white-and-purple houses, hotels and other types of buiilding.
We visited the Kasbah and the museum inside of it.
Leaving Chefchaouen almost broke our hearts. And we would seize the next smallest opportunity to make a trip again to this enchanting city.

Interesting website
I found a website that seemed interesting to me Yovo.info. For those of you who like travelling across Africa, check out the adventures of a real "africa-trotter". Believe me, it is Worth the browsing!

Slight Design Change
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Site Announcements

After a rather long time of inactivity, I decided to make some improvements on this website's design.
I thought a little bit of colour will not harm at all. So I added some!
In a few time from now, I hope to add some content too: new sections and more content to old sections.
And also a rather personal portion, with pictures and stuff!
So keep coming!

Fun? Africa? Do both fit?
News on media show a bleeding continent. But this is not all about Africa, warm, friendly place, still hiding truckloads of unheard-of treasure. Hold on! Don't start a treasure-quest safari-like trip to get yourself some glowing precious stones. Or well, you might do so, but what you'll get won't necessarily be what you thought of. It's about that is inside of the heart of each african -at least most of them.
I think I'll say more about it later.
Enjoy yourself!!
