Akon in Benin!

So, last night I went to Akon in concert. It said it started at four but like most Beninese events it didn't actually start until about 6pm. When it did start it was a bunch of different Beninese acts which were decent enough but it was kind of disappointing that they were about a football field away. The concert was held in the stadium for the soccer matches and we were at one end of the football field and the stage was at the other end. There was no one actually on the soccer field either. This was good for the performance of African dances that happened later but it was hard to see. It was still really awesome. When Akon finally came out (1am lame) we were allowed out onto the field. Needless to say I haven't slept much but I will probably take a nap. Overall the experience was pretty awesome. The african dances and performances were awesome and really well practiced.
