安顺路98号小商品市场内26号铺 Shanghai, 98 Anshun Road, stall 26

On the way to downtown Bamako (MALI), I find this landscape is similar to streets and culture of some secondary or third tiers cities in China, such as multicolored clothes shops, barber shops where neighbors get gathering very often and stalls which can be observed at a glance. And surprisingly, I notice that most of these quotidians objects are made in China and their raw material–actually comes from here : the Africa. An interesting transformation that combined with a hybrid and paradoxical familiarity.
