Here’s a picture of Leila “bargaining” at the market.  While she’s a woman of many talents, such as singing to herself next to you while you’re trying to write a witty blog entry, it seems that bargaining isn’t one of them.  Here’s a rough translation of her bargaining skills:  

Necklace/keychain sales guy:  2,000 francs for all of that.  
Leila: Ok, how about 3,500?  
Necklace/keychain sales guy: (Stunned silence)
Leila: Fine, fine.  5,000.  Final offer.  

Economists, watch for the gross national income of Mali to double before we leave.
