... they just sleep in one of the two rooms as they feel like it. So th**e are always people around and privacy is a virtue. Saturday we w**e tired and as it was scorching hot, we just stayed inside and watched movies until the sun has calmed down. We had some small trips around, to the riv**, some oil installations and some of Kelvin's friends before we went to play in the music video. Kelvin has promised to send me a copy when it is finished and I will post it on Facebook when I get it ...

... Anwesenden Saufkumpanen als Geschworene. Das Ergebnis war ein klar** Schuldspruch und als Strafe wurde eine Kiste Bi** festgesetzt, sofort zu organisi**en. Das Ganze war wirklich lustig. Eine zweite Anklage, weil ** auch seinen Hochzeitstag nicht mehr wusste, wurde fallengelassen und zur Kla**ung an die Ehefrau weit**gegeben. Ich weiss all**dings ohnehin nicht, ob ihr Hochzeitstag fu** sie so toll war. Die Ehe ist wohl, wie ...

... farewell 'do' yest**day to say bye to work placements and host families. We organised an awards c**emony too (I won most enthusiatic volunte**!) which basically consisted of hand-made awards and cheesy speeches haha. This last week has vanished and i am struggling to believe that time can fly so quickly. Ev**ything is sorted for fundraising in Edinburgh - finally.

We tried to explain that this was not the case and that eg canoes w**e not 'invented' by the white man but it was like they had all been brainwashed. Work is going well - we are trying to twin Flieyo school with Edinburgh schools and hope to get Edinburgh ...

... formance haha..... Wednesday was an important day for me - I had to organise a day for the group which would somehow educate them on an issue prevalent in Calabar. I chose to present on the effects of pov**ty on *****ia's education system. Got all the team to teach the children at Flieyo Model (hut on a puddle). The day was v**y successful.

It is so funny h**e - I was in a taxi and a man got in, looked at me and declared "I am so happy to be sitting next to a white woman"!! I've had lots of marriage off**s so far (don't worry Mum & Dad - I've not accepted any haha). I've had to invent a husband to try to stop furth** questions about marriage.

I have ins**ted my first Steinman pin last week which has been the extent of the surgical procedure thus far. We are hoping to make an announcement on the local radio with a view to increasing our workload by ...

... stamp to 1000 CFA to make it "showable" To 14h00 (5 hours of waiting on the bench of the reception), one tells to me that it is now the moment to buy a stamp to 50,000 CFA for the visa. To 15h15 (15 minutes before closing), I recov** the famous visa with as a bonus, the advice of journey of the Consul's secretary. I learn that the insurance NICON subscribed at PHC is not valid for Cam**oon (not part of the CEDEAO). For once I made a pap** before traveling! As it is too late to ...

I eventually made my shopping in this same market, and got the end of the story: Tony had gone to hide, and he had sent the military guards to beat up the policemen and make them pay for the damage to the car. Normal situation, as they say... It is fortunate that in these moments of dang**, the ...
