		<description><![CDATA[
I spent a week in Senegal in April for the first time since October, 2006.
The city has changed a lot superficially: many highways and flyovers have been built, posh Iranian-made taxis fill the streets, and glittering new nightclubs with a 15 Euro entry and leather shoe requirement have sprung-up all over the Almadies neighbourhood.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been hearing a lot of classic Congolese music lately.  Time to move to other countries and other decades for a few posts.  
We&#8217;ll head back to contemporary Senegal today.  Benn loxo du taccu is a Wolof proverb, afterall&#8230;
The other night my friend Laurent, who lived in Senegal for about a decade, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the last time time I was in Louga was when a sept-place (think Peugeot station wagon that somehow fits seven passengers) broke-down on the way back from Saint-Louis.  It was late at night so I decided to stay a while rather than sit by the car, waiting for the small, motor oil [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of my friends here have had a relatively rough rainy season.  Despite the sun, surf and mean brochettes there are occasional downsides to living in Dakar.  One friend has typhoid, another has malaria, a few are stressed for reasons best described by financial stamps and rubber cachets, and others are contemplating leaving [...]]]></description>

I got home at 6:30am this morning after a fantastic Paris Nuit Blanche.  There was just enough time for about an hour of sleep before I had to leave for the airport.
