gottseidqnk today I had a little more time ... AAAAAAlso again all over again .... for Survival Manual Cameroon, or what I have now to all have learned
Lesson 1:
Flight
attempt if possible, do not "look" to fly, because wood grade is this really another euphemism 14 hours next to boring people, with bad food and crying babies harrrrt real
Lesson 2:
Let's pick up of really strong guys from the airport, especially if already dark, I was immediately NEN whole bunch of the I wanted to tighten the jaw-ir gendwas
Lesson 3: The
chocolate chocolate can be left at home, here it is so hot that I did not even feel like chocolate, and that must mean really something! In addition, it melts away under the hands of one and / or it is entirely of the same Flughafenab-holcrew weggemampft
Lesson 4:
eyes and go!
live I just in a student dormitory at Edwige, tiny little mouse and funny Baby animals - we are sleeping two to a tiny bed and there is no bathroom or running water ... So showers is, for example, really hard to be-but because the water is soooo cold is : from so THANK YOU for Sabrina Dry shampoo! : D
Fortunately, I live only a week so while my integration days. Tomorrow, Saturday I go to my boss. I had to work yet, but starting Monday we go. Until now I had every day one or more guides have dragged me across the "city" and have shown me all sorts of things. Most people, especially the young are bilingual, that is, they speak mostly French and English both of which still really hard to understand-hen is because the words to express real funny.
Lesson 5:
taxi driving
Ok, Yaoundé is soooo huge, but still there are no street names or public-Lich Transportation, but thousands of taxis and moto-taxis.
do to get a taxi to the following: Getting close to the curb and shouts at the passing taxis ... first you cross the place where you out-want (eg marché central, ministère de la post, ...) since there is no street names ... then there is the number of places will have you and then pay the price you want. When the taxi driver agrees he bangs on the horn and it gets on. Now, it is not that one then the taxi by themselves, one has to be squeezed in and the driver always holds back on the road edge and forks even more people to do in the same direction.
Bruising is actually quite good because there is no air bag or Anschnallgur-te, and the road more like a runway with bombenkratergoßen potholes. The taxi driver is driving so the zigzag across the street to avoid the holes, and in order to spare his "car" ... this of course he takes no account of other pedestrians or oncoming cars! So I really had to suppress a few times already crying ...
Lesson 6:
Eat whatever you can get!
And I mean really so far, I've never eaten nothing disgusting, even though most things do not look as appetizing. For example, I've eaten well the Hucklebarry? / FouFou say ... that is yellow Maniokschleim with spinatar-tigem vegetables and chicken, also good is Poisson Brais, is hiebei it is fried fish with cassava and allspice (super hot spice stuff) ... the Cameroon's nerve eat here all the has fish, that is, skin, bones, eyes, head, and the gan-zen nasty stuff ... well so that the plate is then empty ... but after I was persuaded to egg one eye unds lifted me not, I'm thanking the rest bones and thus omitted. Here's also true many bakeries with lick-rem Pain au chocolat and croissants en masse
Lesson 7:
beer
The Cameroonians are very, very proud of their beer, min until now I've drunk every day, at least one ... which is more than usually D! Supposedly it is here "real deutch beer" called "Isenbeck" or "Amstel" (I've still never heard of it) that someone of you knows? Otherwise, they love it here Gui-ness and Castell (like the German wheat) beer is also really convenient because it is well chilled, so some catch here at breakfast with a / or two / or three ... ... beer at
lesson 8:
mosquitoes
moment I look out, as if I had chicken pox ... who knows, vlt. Have I, too, but I think these are mosquito bites ... I hope my Malaria drug does what it promises. ... Now I have a mosquito repellent cream, very good ned functional.
Lesson 9:
phones / phone calls
have here, most people two cell phones because there are two major telephone companies, which somehow always related problems ... orange et mtn ... one buys his sim cards on the street irgendnem state and has then immediately ne number ... on my Sim, for example, were still about 1,000 other numbers from Vorbesit stored destroyed ... There is no phone boxes, and telephone booths, but stands by the roadside with people whom you money for it there, so that their Han should use-dy ... ..
Sun that's it for today, unfortunately I still have no internet and my camera is also gone ... wsl. Do I have to buy new NEN here ... achso what I've be forgotten, the people here are really nice, all take good care of me and thank God there are still an intern from Norway and one from Holland, so I'm not alone I hope you's are all well, I miss her very quelque fois et j'ai beaucoup de mal au pays et de la nostalgie ... à bientôt, Anna
