That’s right. I’ve gone and published the archives. Yes, it took two PHP commands. Yes, I should have done it a long time ago. Yes, you should look in the sidebar for the links. Thank my Aunt Lynne for bitchin’ and moanin’ about it (I say that with love).

By theresa | Published: February 27, 2006

If you haven’t been following along, the primary form of in-city transportation here is moto-taxis, also known as zemijians (or just zems). Zemijian is a local phrase that means “get there faster,” and indeed, the zems zip along the streets of Cotonou, ferrying hundreds of thousands of people to work, school, and the market [...]
