An update on the past few days:

I moved in with my host family on Sunday. They're really nice and all is well so far. I have 3 siblings: a 5 year old brother who lives in another city to attend school; a 20 year old brother zho goes to the University of Yaounde (I onlysee him a bit in the morning and a bit at night) and a cool 13 year old sister. My house is a bit small comparatively-some of the other students are living in mansions-but it's fine. The bathroom is a separate building outside, but fortunately no bucket showers!

Classas started yesterday and so far they're pretty good. I have class from 8-3:30 with breaks in between and for lunch. Tomorrow I'm going to the mqrket with my French class, it should be fun.



On a side note, I've discovered that I don't like avocado or plantains, which are featuredin nearly every meal. Oh well...

  2. I second eshriber up there. but how can you not like avocate or platanos?? those are two of my favorite foods here. You should try avocado with sugar mashed together it is so amazing! and platanos you need to fry and put cheese on them it is one of the easiest snaks to make. the end. we'll talk soon chiquita :)
