Sajay [Was] In Guinea [Now in Zambia]: Memories: Bamako

Here are some Photos from Bamako before I left to Zambia. I am going to miss all of my Guinea Volunteers a ton. They were, and are, like family to me. I really do hope to stay in touch!

Bamako football stadium watching Mali vs. Sudan. That's Kiki and Nick watching intently. The Peace Corps staff hooked us up with tickets.

Ben taking some pics like the good Asian tourist that he is. Sorry Ben.

Outside my house at Toubaniso. Ok, this might need some explaining. When we got to Bamako, we stayed in this training facility for Mali Peace Corps Volunteers. The nake means little white person villiage. Hilarious. We all slept 3 per room. Of course Ben, Nick and I shared a room.

Here is the Building where we got out 3 meals a day and had the computers where we did our resumes and decided on what we were doing for the next couple of years of our lives.

We got a pingpong table! It was awesome!

The situation room. This is the inside of that last building. this is us stressed out trying to get some info off of some very slow and often broken computers.

A blurry picture of the other 2 of the Triumpherant.

The big screen that we projected movies and "the Wire" on most days. Man they pampered us for those couple of weeks.

The Bar we hang out in called The Camp. Looks like an American Bar. It was great! Awesome food, cheap drinks. Great for stressed out evacuees.

Some more of the bar and Nick being social.

Us spending way too much on food and drinks.

Trying to relax

But can't stop working. This is Ben trying to get Plane tickets and failing miserably, and Jess Worl laughing at him. Hope that worked out....

The Pool at the American Club we got to hang out for free whenever we wanted. Awesmoe deal, great staff. They also had movies, Tennis, Basketball, a nice bar, etc.
