The national museum

I visited the national museum this weekend. There you can look at animals. I saw lions, hippos and hyenas for example. It was mostly horrible though, as the lions and hyenas had about 10-20 km2 to share with their friend. Hippos are huge! And they are kind of scary, not that cute as I thought. I did not take any photos as it would have cost 1000 F CFA extra (1,5 €). You get so stupid here. 1,5 € is nothing, but I was protesting against the fact that you had to pay extra. Maybe another time, now I’m prepared that it costs more. At the museum you can also buy craftmanships from artisans. This is what I got: .


Elephant key chain carved in wood, 750 F CFA and a leather wallet 1500 F CFA.


Batik painting, 2500 F CFA
