Just like the rest of Senegal, the XOF is the accepted form of currency. In general, you can assume that about $2 USD is the same as a 1000 XOF note.

I didn't get a chance to listen to much music this week, except on local radio in taxi cabs. Wally Seck is a popular artist you hear anytime you turn on the radio.
As part of my research, I met Bombardier, a great wrestling champion in Senegal.
This week I read a lot by the French anthropologist Dominique Chevé, re-read some sections from Rudolf Ware's The Walking Qur'an and started La sacre du Ceddo by Alioune Badara Bèye.
