Bonjour Yaoundé

Hello!. I'm writing this from Yaoundé (ya-oon-day) the capital of Cameroon. it's a very lovely and mysterious place, evrybody speaks french, and the keyboard i'm typing this on is french too with all the keys in the wrong positions (Inès would be so proud of me for the amount of franglais i've been speaking.)

Aloys, Ernest and Meredith from the Buea school for the deaf came here on Sunday on a mission to meet ministers and delegates and other important people, and i tagged along with them. We've been staying with Aloys' uncle and wife and their hospitality towards us would be adequate for royalty.

We leave today for a visit to Kribi on the coast qnd then back to Buea (boy-ah) by night. I hope the journey going back isn't as eventful as the one coming here, we drove past the scene of a horrendous accident, i don't really want to talk too much about it here, all i'll say is it was the most gruesome thing i have ever seen.

Enough about that i'm having a wonderful time in Yaoundé and we've met a lot of the right people who may be able to help with the deaf school. I shall write about my adventures when i return to Buea.

Au revoir.

Alright Jason- 'Realise To Survive' just came on the pod totally randomly, so i ventured on to the blog to see how you were doing. I guess Malaria's no surprise in the jungle, but Typhoid?? Sh1t man- hope you're recovering ok. Any sightings of Roger Milla yet??!
