I can't wait for an opportunity to actually visit.

sene311- @truthulsetufree i am from senegal! i hope african american try to be in contact w/ african people and learn more about Africa! they would be more willing to go and see how great a culture we have and how rich the continent is! i had a french freind who once he stayed in senegal a year, he decided to settle there.
