Houet
8.1
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Bobo-Dioulasso anchors this county as Burkina's actual second city—real commerce, French colonial architecture, a decent expat circle. You'll find actual bars that stay open, Lebanese traders moving money, and West African wealth passing through. French is real here, infrastructure beats Ouaga outside the capital's core, and local women know what a foreigner looks like.
Mid score (6-8)
Movement isn't free the way it is in coastal countries—official tolerance is fine but social friction exists if you stay past tourist season. The economy runs on agriculture and trade, not tourism or tech, so you're visible without being expected. Nightlife shuts down by midnight most nights.
Lower score (below 6)
You're still in one of Africa's poorest countries facing a security crisis—bandit activity in surrounding provinces means you can't just roam. Power cuts are real, water isn't guaranteed, and if something breaks you're waiting for a part to come from Ouaga or Ivory Coast.
