In Bangante

So this will be short b/c i am not a fan of this french keyboard. before we left yaounde, went out dancing at a club: it was really fun: they first played american music, but then switched to african: i found ouit the hard way, to ask how much a drink is before i buy it: (dont remember if i already told that story):

i made it here in one piece, and the bus ride was only about 4 hours: i met my host family and they are awesome. my mother and father are both teachers, and there are 5 kids in the house: two nephews about 18; anais, 9; alexandra, 7; and andrew, 4. they are adorable. we speak constant french; so thats interesting: i have my own room and we have water and electricity, but the power goes out often. there is no hot water, so i have been taking ice cold showers: we have chickens and rabbits (apparently they will be for dinner) and the roosters wake me up every morning (and sometimes nights) with their cocorico noise: food here is good: my host mom is a great cook, and everything is super spicy; havent gotten sick yet:

this weekend we went to bafoussam to a school: we were guest presenters for the hundreds of prizes given out to good students: it was interesting, and the chief of the village was there: yesterday i got invited to a 12 year olds bday party: the food was good, and there was a dance contest: that was fun to watch:

thats it for now: please send text msgs, letters and packages! if you need my info; email me!
miss everyone at home, and i especially miss the internet connection. talk to you soon.
