One of my favorite places in Nouakchott is the market in the "fifth neighborhood" (5me). I could, and often do, spend hours there just wandering around, greeting the vendors, and finding some reason to strike up a conversation with anyone who wants to talk. I always learn something new and get a stomachache from laughing too much. I have many friends in 5me!
Some of my favorite things to look at are the displays of golden Fula earrings, beads and various braided hair pieces special for weddings.
I also love to browse the displays of the wax, bazin, and hand-dyed fabrics. I recently met a Malian vendor who sells shea butter, plantains, gari, coconuts, and other imported food items.
