Check In

Yo Team,

Here are some pictures from my first couple of weeks in Cameroon, unfortunately the internet is not fast enough here to really upload photos, thus you'll have to wait. Riveting. Since I arrived back in Yaounde I have been quite busy. These two weeks I have been visitng Development organizations around the city including: World Bank, US Embassy, WWF, Ministries of Government etc. The week has been super intellectual. On Saturday, I took a break and went to Cameroon's game against Togo for a spot in the World Cup. This time, I sat in the "crazy fan" section. IT lived up to its reputation, in order to buy security of people around me I purchased alcohol and beignets and distributed them. Every time a goal was scored, my comrades formed a wall around me. Cameroon won 3-0. That evening I had an encore at a Petit Pays concert, the most famous Cameroonian singer. The concert was unlike anything I had ever seen, a hybrid between a super-sexual hip hop concert and a evangelical church where people were being saved. Samuel Eto'o showed up to the concert and danced on stage as well. Celebrities travel in packs here.



Since then, the Sox have let me down. My 2 to 5 AM clandestine radio sessions were not enough to power them to any semblance of dignity.

Going to the beach for a couple of days. Then the extreme north (Cholera, see the news).
