3:35 pm Cameroon time

bonjourall is good here i am enjoying it and today i went to the pre nursary so 1and2 year olds they were cute. i cant wait until the next place i am not doing anyhting here i enjoy the people and the children but i am not doing what i came here to do. there is a teachers day parade next monday and the specialy made dresses will be ready at the end of this week. i will take lots of pictures if i am still here for the parade through downtown then dancing and party after. i am getting used to the water here i can drink a decent ammount with no ill effects i still use my stairi pen but just for the day and i drink there water in the morniing and at night. it is cold and it is from a clean water spout thing that only goes on at cirtain times. everyone is asking about the bathroom facilities so i will poast it for all to see; a toilet it does not flush but all you have to do is poor water in a bucket and into the toilet for it to go down. there is a sink there is only cold water but that is good because is is so hot here sometimes you need only cold. there is a shower;not the best water pressure but when you wash twice a day there is no need for pressure. there is also a big bin of water that is in the washroom with buckets and a little scoop thing for just small baths and a quick wash. i should mention that i have a cold yes i said a cold in africa. suprisingly they even call it a cold here. a lot of things have different names and very french influenced way of speaking not so. off the light it disturbes my eyes. good appitie. these are just some examples. i should go now so take care and 5 months until i see you all. laters emily
