Domaine de Nianing, Here We Come! May 18, 2009
This was my first time at the Domaine de Nianing and I really enjoyed myself
The resort is quite peaceful, the property is huge, there are tennis courts, basketball courts, couple of swimming pools,a playa, buffet, games and a cheesy show in the evening
It’s really the type of spot you want to go to when you need to unwind, I actually thought that it would be the perfect spot for a married couple who needs to talk things out ect…
I didndt have my camera on me at the time when I visited the animals area, they had monkeys, crocodiles, turtles and a bunch of other friendly and not so friendly animals
The staff is on the friendly side for the most part, the area is clean, there were a lot of French and American tourists…
Good weekend:)

Fridays are days in Dkr to celebrate our African heritage
I look forward to friday when men look so sexy If I can say so wink wink with their ganilla bazin outfits probably ironed by their wives mothers sisters or maids
Women look so elegant with their high heels and accessories …
Fridays are also the days when men go to the Mosk to praise Allah collectively …
Fridays in Dkr I love:)

HISTOIRE DE CHAWARMA BY ABASS ZEIN! May 7, 2009
So much fun, ohhh I loved the play, it was abt a family of Lebanese imigrants who reside in Ivory Coast, abt the question of identity that these people sometimes go through, do they still belong to Liban or to this new land who welcomed them..mm the play didnt really answer totally because its hard to answer it completely….
There is a huge Lebanese community here in Dkr and in Ivory Coast aparently , the new generation hasnt for the most part been to Liban, they only know it through the words of their parents and have established themselves in africa..
At the same time its hard for them to define themselves as africans so who are they is the question they face? the play was full of great characters full in colors, the public was generous, I def’ recomend it
I think that they are supposed to play one more time tonite at Daniel Sorano if you are in town def’ go see it..
The clip bellow is with my 2 fav’ characters, enjoy:)

Wedding, Friendship, Food,Life in Dakar May 2, 2009
My cousine Anna was getting married, I was blessed to be in attendance it was moving to see a sister of mine getting married, trop contente many great things for the Kone’s in the future Inch’Allah:)
On pic number one as it’s tradition in our land, Ana is making her entrance as a married woman to her guests at the hand of the chosen aunty on that day by the family who serves as her “mother” that day, you cant hear it but griots were at that moment singing her praise and the ones of her family, its very moving and at that point you see how marriage is deep, she was so moved and so beautiful as a woman during that single moment, I’ll always remenber it:)
Mouna and Astou both repped beautifully, one wearing a design straight from Bamako in the orange bazin, and the other one in a beige and creamy lin fabric…:)
My girl Mouna was in town visiting from BK , laughters, deep convs, the usual thats we do when we get togetha ma go tout simplement:)
Dior and I gave you a tour of the Toukouleur one of my fav’ restos in Dkr via the following video even if I had to go fulani crazy on the owner and the waiters who kept interupting our diner trying to rush us, I dont get upset often but I just had to give it to them, other than that love the food, the decor and the quietness of the place:)
Voila c’etait tout!
