My friend was on the phone speaking with her mother and told her she was going to Ouagadougou for the weekend. Her mother replied, "Now how do you pronounce that."

Spent the weekend in Ouaga with a lovely group of expats (french, dutch, australian, american) for Fespaco, the pan-african film festival of Ouagadougou. It was a really good weekend. Once I got over the initial overwhelming bustle of a city like that, I was able to get to know Ouaga a little better and enjoy it. Not well enough to get around, by any means, but enough to want to maybe someday learn.
