Yesterday was my lucky day! I was going to take the over-50-hour bus from Dakar to Bamako in Mali. I was prepared to take this super crappy and crowded bus for a hellish journey. But then I met 2 Chinese businessmen at a fast food restaurant, and they happened to be going to Bamako this Sunday, and they have a 4WD. So I asked if I could tag along, they happily agreed, and it will only take about 20 hours in their car! Ha!
I've always known that in Africa I can always count on the help from local Chinese people, like a few years ago, I was sheltered and fed by a Chinese construction company in northern Ethiopia, they even made me dumplings and seafood!!
The next few days are going to be a breeze!!
