The Meat Market
I made another trip to the town market yesterday to finish shopping for the items left on my list. I made my way to the meat area where I picked up another kilo of ground beef to use for the week.
My experience was much more pleasant this time around. Although it’s more inconvenient to “shop” for groceries at a market in Mali than it is in a supermarket in States, when you’re surrounded by a slew of boys that want to take care of everything for you, it’s just as easy and twice as fun.
Below is a fantastic video clip of boys being boys (while grinding my meat). It also shows you how accomplishing one task here (buying ground beef) involves a lot more patience and people than you could imagine!
