27 May 2009 - Bamenda
A rather vanilla day compared to our exciting days at Akum. Jane and I worked in the office. Jane later went on a solo adventure to Bamessing to go to a traditional healer’s meeting (she also got to meet the Fon’s son….unfortunately, she also got proposed to several times). I stayed in the office, content with my time sheet progress.
Later in the night, Jane and I went to a “bar” across the street to watch the football game – Manchester United vs. Barcelona. The bar was pretty crowded, but we were able to see the small screen fairly well. Everyone in the bar went crazy when Samuel Eto’o of Barcelona scored the first goal (Eto’o is a Cameroon native) – one guy even opened a bottle of beer with his teeth. Jane and I had to head back to our flat at the half so we could get home before the clinic’s gates closed, but we’re assuming Barcelona won as we could hear much yelling for the next hour.
Power outages: 31
