I've been really busy with my ISP (Independent Study Project) lately, so I haven't been able to post as often as before. Making up for that, here's a rundown of how I spent my birthday:
My friend Kelly, who's working with traditional healers in a village around 2 hours away, came to visit and we went out "for a night on the town." Our first quest was to find a birthday cake. Unfortunately, none of the boulangerie's in Dschang sell cake, but we were able to improvise. We bought a "tortue," a big piece of sugar-coated bread in the shpa e of a turtle. We then cut it open and filled it with bits of chocolate. Finally, we found a meat stand (basically a big fire where vendors cook and sell beef or chicken) where the workers let us roast our creation. The result: warm, sugary bread filled with melted chocolate. It was DELICIOUS.
Our next task was to gather the proper ingredients for champagne mixed with pineapple juice. We got a nice 3000F (US 6 dollars) bottle, found some pineapple juice, and then located a nice bar where we could drink it. Our two missions being accomplished, we just hung out and enjoyed being in the company of English speakers for a change. Overall it was a very nice, relaxing birhtday.
