Hello:
I have lived almost all of my life in the US, though I am originally Malian. I am now back in Bamako (permanently, I think), and looking forward to meeting expatriates here in Mali (Europeans, Americans, Latin Americans, Asians, all are welcome as far as I am concerned).
Perhaps I can learn something from you all.
NB: I AM NOW IN BAMAKO, NO LONGER IN THE WASHINGTON, DC, AREA.
