However, temperature raises everyday till 40-45℃, with red sand dust and polluted air(by cars and bikes) outside so it doesn’t seem comfortable, does it ? Also, as it is so hot, rich people use AC like us and probably the electricity consumption in this city surpasses its capacity. As result, we have so often blackouts everyday.

In April 1st, the Burkina group (12 volunteers) traveled from Ouaga to Bobo-Dioulasso where local language training center is located and actually I am going to work for 2 years. It took 5 hours by bus. I was worried about “bus” in Burkina because usually no reserved seats and people get on it as many as possible (of course more than the number of seats) but the bus was luxurious ! Seats are all reserved under AC well actually, we were not supposed to open windows.
What is great at the training center is that I have my own room with own washroom, fan on the ceilings and a double bed!
This week I had French classes with a teacher 1 to 1, discussing about modern Islamic marriage process, African traditional societies, Bobo surroundings history, politics and economy. 5 hours everyday. From next week, I’m going to learn this region’s local (commercial) language (among Cote-d’Ivoire, Mali and Burkina), Dioula which people with how I will work probably speak as well. I am very looking forward to it !
