Cameroon's Story

I love water
Let's see.. We haven't had internet for two weeks, which is devastating for me, because really, the whole world ends in Menji, which is only 2 kms away. We also didn't have water because it's the end of the dry season - and the rain that is coming is ...
Rest In Peace
My friend's sister finally passed away - the one I had written about before. It was a bit difficult for me - as I went to her cry-die (the African version of a wake), I felt numb and in shock. I thought about the past month and a half that she was under ...
CAMEROON INDEPENDENCE DAY
... me that that was the best thing I could've done. More than one way to skin a cat, I suppose... I included pictures from the Cameroon Day of Independence that we put together for the youth. Hope everyone is well. Sorry to hear about the snow storms. ...
HALFWAY THROUGH!
I'M HALWAY THROUGH MY ADVENTURE -12 weeks and I'm homebound! Last week was a HORRIBLE WEEK!! If it had happened earlier on in my adventure, I would've packed my bags and said "Peace out!". These past 2 months and a half, I've built some kind ...

Go with the flow
Greetings! This will probably be one of the last travelblogs I'll write - as I'm headed for vacation in two days, and I'll only work in the hospital for one more week. So lately I've made a major break-through in my life. One thing that was always in my ...

Assaulted by French bread
It's only been a few days since i wrote a blog, but I couldn't help but publicize my near death experiences. Yes, experienceS, with a pluralized s. So living in the forest, you must understand one important rule about nature and your co-existence ...
Mamfe to ... Ikom
Voila départ de Mamfé (en fait c'est plutot : Bachuo Akagbe)!! La route est meilleure, mais pas asphaltée... et BAM je me vaautre sur un excès de confiance sur ces routes de terres lisse et judicieusement recouvertes de pluie prête à trahir à la ...
The world is my bathroom...
Travel blog 1-4-2010 I asked to be in the forest (here they call it "the bush"), and I DEFINITELY got my experience. We haven't had water now for a week, the "source" has apparently run dry. We are EAGERLY anticipating the first rains ...
Route mauvaise
Mon objectif apres Bouar etait d aller vers la parc Nat Dzangha Sangha voir les gorilles et les pygmees. Pour cela je pris la route Bouar-Carnot-Berberati-Nola-Bayanga. Je traversai la region diamantiferes de centrafrique et je le compris tout de suite ...
Train camerounais

Au milieu de la jungle
J'avais eu de la chance au lieu d'un parcours épique sur une moto loué sur une route à travers la jungle vierge, j'ai eu le droit à un voyage tout frais payé par une ONG qui vérifiait les puits d'eau de la région. Ils ont fait un détour rien que ...
My 3 hour stay with the police
... , I had not slept in 2 days, and I was greatly outnumbered. There wasnt much to do, except like with everything else in Cameroon, go with the flow. In the beginning, there was a bit of animosity - although I am filipino by nationality and by color, since ...

En route vers Yaounde

Ville frontiere

Battery Issues
I haven't been able to make blog posts or work images like I would like because our battery set up has not been reliable at all. In Bangui it worked perfectly but in Bayanga it has been a total failure. It is the battery for sure. We borrowed a voltmeter ...
Darth Maul
I've settled into Cameroon life and my job in the hospital ward smoothly. I've even managed to *gasp* find balance in terms of my fitness - running and yoga on alternating days. There is nothing like running in the mountains at six o clock in the morning, ...
RCA:Region Champagne Ardenne ou Rep Centrafrique
