I have studied on university level (but I chose distant courses so I could stay and work in Niger at the same time), but I've always liked English - it's a rich language. And a very international one too... :-) @Janet: Yes, it IS hard to chose, so I go every second month and buy everything that I really like. Fabrics can be saved for ages, and I love having things at hand - so that when that moment comes when I need to make a dress for a wedding or such, I don't have to go fabric hunting first. However, some fabrics will be absolutely wonderful at the market, but you have to think twice so you don't buy something too colorful that you end up not wearing. @Niger: There's no point saddling up to head into the city, as there is so much traffic. Horses in Niger don't have shoes (which they would need if I made it a habit to ride through town) but the bush is perfect for them! @Pat: Ah, I’ve been asked that before, and to be frank, I don’t know the exact answer.

I have bought some from Ghana in the past (I have a friend that was living there)but there are so many beautiful ones, I can imagine it is difficult to choose. Wow, the fabrics are beautiful!
