Field Trip!

This week is going to be a fun one! We're splitting up into small groups of 2-4 and are visiting volunteers throughout Cameroon. Science volunteers like me will be going to either the Northwest or Southwest and will have a few days to check out what our living situations will be like for the next two years. I'm heading to some village that Google maps can't locate so that's reassuring! I'm really excited to see a new part of the country, and traveling across Cameroon is going to be quite an experience as well. Also, next week we find out where our specific post is going to be. Can't wait for that, keeping my fingers crossed for reasonable beach access.

Obviously disappointed with the result from the US, Portugal match. A draw isn't bad by any means, but we were 30 seconds away from advancing past the group stage. Ahhh well, we're still in a good spot. Too bad Cameroon hasn't faired too well, but as long as one Africa team advances this whole continent will be backing them.

Random side note, the cell phone situation is definitely interesting here. I won't go into all the details, but for those who went to Bali, the process reminds me of purchasing petrol in Absolut bottles from street vendors. But hey, I don't care how I buy it as long as I get unlimited texting for a dollar a month. Should have a lot of new material to write about next week when I get back from Bessi Awum, so stay tuned.

Cheers!
