Not Cuba
Just finished Skypeing with a prospective landlady ahead of our move in four days. It wasn’t the most coherent of conversations as she kept breaking off and shouting in W_____ (local language) at the noisy mob of women surrounding her. She ended every phrase with, “Inch’allah!” — not sure if this is a positive sign.
She told me she was out of town, in a place that sounded like Cuba — I was confused — but it turns out to be a very famous town in the country we’re moving to, and is currently hosting 2 million visitors attending the Grand Magal.
No more clues … where are we going?

Bah, the ‘W’ is quite a giveaway ;-)
Not many languages that would fit the bill, apart from Wolof…
Have fun in Dakar!

Googling ‘Grand Magal’ seems to indicate Senegal is the likely answer. :-)
Do we get pictures?

Thanks!
Yes you will get photos, once I get an internet connection, a place to live, kids in school, car, etc.
