Been stuck here for over a week now. Not worth it. Not much to see or do. Hot all day. You'll be bored quite soon unless you get out of town and explore the rest of the country.

What brought you there?

There's less French used by most people on a day-to-day basis than you might expect, although it is understood--a Francophone friend of mine lived there for a while and just wound up learning Wolof.

Do they now have domestic air service? Air Senegal died some time ago so I'm wondering if you still have to take a bus to other points in Senegal?

Did you take any precautions before going to Senegal/Africa in general? e.g. vaccinations, malaria pills, anything else

Got a few vacs renewed, still had several valid ones, took a typhus booster vaccine, and I'm on antimalarials.

Yellow fever is obligatory for some countries.
