Hello everyone,

About eight years ago I backpacked through Ghana, Togo and Benin and really fell in love with the region. I have since made four trips through West Africa, making my way along the coast from Senegal to Benin. I very much look forward to the day when I can visit Burkina, but I know the government is not granting tourist visas to US citizens at the moment. Do you think this will change soon? How does the general population view American tourists? I understand the anti-French sentiments in the country, but do these extend to other groups as well?

One day I hope to see the Royal Court of Tiebele and visit the museums in Ouagadougou and Bobo so I can learn about Burkinabe culture.

I will be visiting Lima for a week in August and I’ve been reading about the different transportation options in the city. Some articles I’ve read have referred to the Lima Pass for buses and others have called it a Metro card. Are these the same thing? Does the card for the Metropolitano bus work for the Metro line as well or is that a separate card?

Really looking forward to coming to your city!
