On the streets of Bamako
There's plenty to do in Bamako: take in a movie... go shopping, get a haircut... or just look at the murals!

Bamako is a busy and interesting city. People wear all sorts of different clothes and do all sorts of different things. One thing you will see is lots of pictures everywhere. Why do you think this is? Can you tell what kind of shop the sign is for? Many of the walls in Bamako are covered with huge murals. Does the mural on the right surprise you? Why?
