Cyber Cafe

At the Cyber cafe in Kolda- also know as -the internet- by the
volunteers. A common phrase is "I'm going to the internet, want me to pick up anything for the market?"

The name of this place is Cafe corps de la paix or in english Cafe Peace Corps.

A few years ago a Peace Corps Volunteer was based in town here. His name was Charlie. He encouraged and helped one of his friends set up a cyber cafe. The senegalais man "Moz" was so grateful that he named it after Peace Corps.

Internet here is roughly 300 CFA an hour or 60 cents an hour. The connection is generally not too slow. Plus the staff that runs it are very friendly.

Usually here you will hear lots of hip-hop and phat beats. The owner also is a DJ. Usually DJ Moz will invite you to one of his upcoming parties.

Moz isn't here at the moment, so I took a picture of one of the staff.
