Bamako

1. It has pretty hills and a river.
2. There are fewer power-cuts (and they’re shorter when they do happen).
3. Public transport (in the form of sotramas) is just as cheap, but safer than zemidjans.
4. When it rains heavily, the floods just run downhill into the river, so don’t last long.
5. You can constantly tease people about bean-eating.
6. There are more expatriates and a greater variety of organized events.
7. The nights are cooler and it’s generally less humid.
8. There are hardly ever any water-cuts.
9. There is less crime and it’s relatively safe to drive at night here.
10. The main roads are virtually pot-hole free.
