Bamako Briefs: Don't Just Stand There, Buster, Move
http://bamakobriefs.blogspot.com/2010/10/dont-just-stand-there-buster-move.html
Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Don't Just Stand There, Buster, Move. I picked the book up off my face, realizing I must have fallen asleep around 9pm, and decided I probably wasn’t going out. Maybe one beer, and only if somebody calls me with a plan. It’s Halloween, after all, the king of Holidays, I should say I tried. 1 Malians don’t celebrate Halloween. 3 Malians Party Extremely Hard.

Bamako Briefs: Integrity Theatre
http://bamakobriefs.blogspot.com/2010/11/integrity-theatre.html
Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Monday, November 15, 2010. It began with the best intentions - a free lunch. We would bring our HIV-patients in to the clinic to give them food and talk about vaccines and the importance of vaccine research. It would be cheap, uncomplicated, and executed within 48 hours. All we had to do was get the go-ahead from the council. How's About A British Jig and Reel. Because of widespread...

Bamako Briefs: December 2010
http://bamakobriefs.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. This will be my last post from Bamako, and I would be remiss if I did not spend a little time mentioning the flora and fauna that Bamako has to offer. And if there’s anything I don’t want to be, it’s remiss. Sheep-market. The dirt soccer field? Pasture and sheep-market. The road? Fête Everyone gets dressed to the nines, in brand new bazins. But for symboli...

Bamako Briefs: Baobab Blobs and Bla Bla Bar Burgers
http://bamakobriefs.blogspot.com/2010/11/baobab-blobs-and-bla-bla-bar-burgers.html
Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Baobab Blobs and Bla Bla Bar Burgers. Yes, the picture was taken before. I ate this fancy feast. And it was delicious. It is restaurant powered by both a kitchen that is more like a lab, and its ever-advancing forays into the unexplored have ossified it as the best restaurant in the world. The yellow one is played by Richard Feynman. At the many other s...

The Craziest Shit I Have Ever Fucking Seen and The Circle of Life in Seven Seconds. They were yelling. The sheer windspeed they generated was overpowering, so there are not many photos.

Bamako Briefs: There Will Be Blood
http://bamakobriefs.blogspot.com/2010/10/there-will-be-blood.html
Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Sunday, October 31, 2010. There Will Be Blood. I’m only here because it didn’t work. I’m happy to be here, but it’s uncomfortable to follow this joy back to its logical source. It’s all kinds of inappropriate to derive pleasure from the stumbling blocks of anybody’s project, even more so when that project is an HIV vaccine. Spelunking With a Laser Pointer. 8220;Are we calling them?

Six weeks in Mali's capital city, working towards a vaccine against HIV, helping out at a clinic, and avoiding open sewers. Friday, October 29, 2010. You Have Been Poked By John Rozehnal. Poke Back / Ignore. That was this poor infant’s index finger, and drew blood by pricking his finger as gently as possible with this. Like how a shark gently plays with a seal. And then, in order to ossify in this child’s mind once and for all that the devil is a skinny white man with. A display of strength that was eith...
