The 14th July was charged, we discovered a little more Ouagadougou.
For starters, the taxi came to take us home.
Direction: Mahamadi office. Once there, we find his office, not without difficulty. He introduces us to some of his colleagues, his director and then we head towards Ouagadougou 2000. Ouaga 2000 is the upscale residential area of Ouagadougou. We aurio 
ns have loved to see this area in detail, but we just passed, lack of time. Then we said hello to the wife of Blaise Compaore (Burkina Faso's president was at the side of Mr Sarkozy for the parade). In front of the presidential residence, there is the monument of martyrs when we took pictures of tourists. We continued our journey to Ouagadougou craft village is a place where artists are grouped (or traders ...) that sell art objects they make (eux-mêmes. ..) for your viewing pleasure. We took the tour to buy a postcard. In general, the announced prices are high enough, it presages a lot of negotiations for the next visit. Mahamadi gave us a beautiful demonstration by purchasing a shirt 5000 instead of 8000 FCFA.
After this walk craft, we passed the offices of Thomas where we had the right to refresh, then we joined Koulsoum to eat in town. After the meal, Mahamadi restarts to work and we, we went to the general market. We negotiated a lot, Martin proved to be a good trader, very hard negotiation. This passage was very tiring, we seek many merchants and trading periods are noisy. Memorable!
Then we went home Mahamadi to start discussing with the seamstress Koulsoum to know what could be done.
After that we rushed to get ready for the reception hosted by Ambassador of France to the house of the French. (I take the photo, the person next to Martin is a French rencontréChangement decor, honor guard at the entrance of the garden consists of the ambassador, his wife and personalities Burkinabé. Then we met other youth who had made the trip as us. The bars were distributed in the garden, small furnaces were distributed to the guests. Really very different both in life and Burkina Faso of French life. After this, we joined others in a French maquis to ignite the dance floor. July 14 This was a very pleasant day which enabled us to discover other aspects of the city.
