Where do I begin? All of you are obviously aware that I haven't taken the time to write on this blog for the better part of 2 months. Why?? I've thought about it and I can't really say, I think that sometimes when living in a new culture you just need some time to process your surroundings. So during that time I had no idea what to write about because I had no clue as to what the hell was going on (probably not that much different from my life back home...but hey). Anyways, after awhile things aren't so bad here, meaning that I've started to adapt to living here....a little.....I think....
Time away from post was amazing. There was an in service training that everyone in the group I came in with had to go to. We were lucky enough to get to go to Kribi, one of Cameroons biggest tourist attractions. It's located in the Southern Region on the coast. Now, I've been to the beach before, some beautiful ones at that, but never in my life was I so happy to go swimming in the Atlantic. When I've been on vacations before, I've never really felt any relief or relaxation. So it was a really the first vacation that I truly did, even though I still had to attend IST sessions during the day.
So after that, I went and celebrated Christmas and New Years with some other volunteers. I saw some exotic animals running wild during this time, such as a pulchritude of peacocks and a baboon. Exciting right?
Believe it or not, but that pretty much sums up the last few months. Short and simple. I don't really have any funny stories from what is going on here. The travel here has gotten to be more and more dreadful every time I get on a bush taxi. At least on the train I can sleep through the delays. However, I did see someone throw a banana peel out of car and someone stepped on it as it landed, but they did not slip and fall comically as one would expect, so that was a disappointment.
I hope to write more frequently and not go so long between posts. If that's the case then you know my life isn't exciting enough to write about it. Apres.
