Notre guide So men, connait très bien son sujet. La visite à duré plus longtemps car nous avions beaucoup de questions (nous avons pu aborder des sujets très divers). Très intéressant au niveau culturel et sur les habitudes locales. So men sait bien raconter l'histoire de son pays avec documents à l'appui.
