In Dschang...

So I am currently sitting in a cyber cafe in Dschang. I have been trying for a while to upload a couple of pictures and I finally got one to work. The picture is of me in an African dress I bargained at for the market in Dschang. I went to the Chefferie which is where the Superior Chief of the Bamilikes lives in a palace of sorts with his many wives and many children. It was a strange yet interesting experience. I kind of westernized the dress with a belt but oh well haha. I will get the clothes I had fitted for me when I return to Yaounde next week.

Yesterday I was in a cyber cafe and the internet stopped working because it was raining outside. I instantly had another one of those I am really in Africa moments. The keyboard I am using is French and it is really difficult to type because some of the letters are in different spots. I also cannot figure out how to do a question mark a comma an exclamation point or anything useful. Ugh. But I just wanted to say that I am qalive and kicking in Dschang. It is extremely rainy and muddy here. My walk to school is about 35 minutes and includes two massive mountains of mud. Good fun.

I will write a detailed post soon. Miss everyone.

    I was never as happy to see a picture of someone in my life.

    Sorry about the walk in the mud, but "this too
    shall pass."

  6. You look beautiful in your dress! Love to see the background too! Smiling to read your friend Hannah's quote: if mud is in my way, then I will jump in it. It sounds as if this is how you are living also - you are really jumping in to life with both feet!
