Every time I've gone to La Cloche, one of two things have happened- either I've run into random other foreigners, or the place fills up and goes CRAZY. Around 10 or so on weekends, a lot of locals...

When I was in Niamey for any length of time, I would have to do a bit of grocery shopping. This meant a trip to the labyrinthine Petite Marche. Most of what you want to get can be found on the...
