Main problem that I have is that my dealer know english like me japanise
language :)) so sometimes is hard to know what he want to say. Anyway I try
to explain him that information about date/time of fall, tkw etc is
importand but he never answer me about this. Only he tells me where this
meteorite fall, around what bigger city, so thats becouse I called it
Lampiayrie for now.
The best thing to do will be fly to Burkina and get all info myself. But
this is work propably for Mike :)), not for me.
