I traveled from Po to Ouaga, stayed on night, then traveled for five hours to Bobo, Burkina Faso or he complete name Bobo Dioulasso. I am now in the land of plenty.
Map of Trip from Bolga, Ghana to Po to Ouaga to Bobo, Burkina Faso.
Description from the Encarta Encyclopedia:
- … trade center for peanuts, sesame seeds, sisal hemp, and livestock; manufactures include cotton yarn, metal products, vegetable oil, soap, lime, and bricks. …
This description seems right on the mark, so far, my guess is this an accurate and correct description.
To describe a country, you need your eyes wide open, and stop read! ing. I try to read about a country after I know the country, then I can have a laugh, and not try to find what I read, to confirm it.
I just read that description and I have seen obvious in my face examples of three-quarters of this list. South of Ouaga Burkina fast to the Ghana and Cote d Ivoire has to be one of the richest in food areas I have entered in West Africa. It was hard to look out the window and not see a cow, goat, cotton, corn, or some cash crop being grown.
Nice to see after see how Togo, Benin and Ghana wasted their natural resources and then cried foul.
I want to see Sesame Seed growing. And the Encyclopedia should add potatoes and onions to the list above, I ate 2 dollars worth of USA French Fries last night for 20 cents US, or 100 CFA. Next time I will say 50 CFA, as 100 is too much and I had to stop the women from loading up the torn piece of paper, used for a plate.
Bobo Dioulasso Burkina Faso!
