IVORY COAST friends, I had the best time at the bushman film festival this weekend!! Now I am looking for locals to show me around the country. If you have time to advise or take me around, let me know! Je suis a ABIDJAN mais j’aimerais bien visiter les autres coins de la COTE D’IVOIRE. Amis ivoriens, montrez-moi votre pays!

From IVORY COAST/ COTE D’IVOIRE: not only the art is amazing at the Bushman – café/hotel/cinema, but also the food is to die for. dancing/swimming to burn off the fried aloco (plaintain) w palm oil calories that I eat with delicious grilled fish.
