The Land of the River of Shrimp: Tuesday, February 09

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. The internet is dangerous to have. I need to remind myself that it is to be used as a resource, not as a source of endless distraction. Guess which I've been doing more of! It's been cloudy and cool the last 2 days, much like Humboldt weather, which is LOVELY. Last night there was some rain on the tin roof, and I felt very relaxed. I need more art in my life. In a doing art sort of way. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My ma...

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. What's been up lately? Gosh, you have no idea, huh? It's been awhile since the last blog. Today I went to Bafoussam to get my internet back (disappeared for a week), get the key to my new post-box (write me! And to pick up a few things. I scored 2 pairs of perfect fitting pants from the frip for a reasonable price, yesss. Anyway. Here is my new address:. Tres simple, n'est-ce pas? America candy, whatevs. Yes, he says...

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Here are some pictures from my walk, I'm too sleepy to formulate words right now. Leaving Batie. lots of eucalyptus. C'est beau. I live across from the giantest church. It was nice to see it in the sense that I knew home wasn't forever away. It still looked pretty far away though. This was carved in the embankment by the road. I'm not sure what it is. There were more faces, too, afterwards. Kinda freaky.

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Home again, home again, after a long week in Baham doing girls' camp. Wow! I've come home to a very lonely cat. I'm sure he'll be very sad that I'm leaving again come Sunday for another girls' camp in Bandrefam. Then my APCD left. So Saturday and Sunday were more laid back than planned, but we had fun with the peer educators and talking about what it means to be a peer educator and a woman, what is puberty, how can you ...

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Why Leaving the Peace Corps Was the Best Decision I've Made Since Joining the Peace Corps. Well, I meant to write a wrap-up/conclusion earlier, but here it is 5 months later and I'm still looking for the words to say. It's hard to believe I left Cameroon over 5 months ago, and my stage-mates are still there for another 3 or 4 months still! What were the biggest factors contributing to my problems? For me, anyways. A...

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Waking up today was much the same as everyday. I sleep in as long as possible, because it is inconceivable that there is anything more comfortable than my bed. Today, this meant getting up at 9. What a lazy bum I am! Once inside I look at the report that I have all but finished translating and realize that I have a golden opportunity to actually do some work. And I walk out the door! So I tape up my flip-charts and a li...

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Qu’est-ce qui se passe? That is to say, what is up? Well Two nights ago it was raining something fierce. I was watching the waterfall on the steps in front of the house and thinking, “Hmm. I hope it doesn’t flood! I snatch up my pile of maybe-dirty clothes (or can I get another day out of them? And (ever so smartly) snagged my voltage regulator out of the growing lake (no electrocution, lucky me, and it still works!

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. ET, phone home. Well I am leaving Cameroon and coming home. I've been pretty unhappy here for awhile and have come to a breaking point where I can't seem to find a reason to stay. I've packed up and left village and now I'm in Yaounde. I'll probably fly home in 3-5 days. And I'm finally feeling happy. Thank you all for your support while I have been in Cameroon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Liz's Blog and Poetry.

The Land of the River of Shrimp. Or more accurately, the Land of Mangos and Avocados. Well, it's been a while, blog. 2 months, it seems. One was very busy. One was very unbusy. Since I last left you, I got to welcome all the new Agro/Health Peace Corps Trainees with Paul. It was crazy and fun and exhausting. Where our stage had a week in Yaounde to take care of everything, the new stage had 3 days. Except then they missed their connection in Brussels (really, a plane can't wait for 50 people? We spent a ...
