Another new girl has arrived, a Dutch girl named Wisha, she's a good laugh and she likes beer. She is alright in my book. So there's now 5 girls and me and there's another two volunteers coming by the end of the month, both female. Not bad from living alone for a month to estrogen island. I'm quite happy thank you.
It's been pretty hot here recently and it hasn't rained for close to a week so consequently there is a drought. Bucket showers become tedious exercises in agility when you're bathing with a cup full of water. When things get really bad we have been getting water from the Orock house, so toilets have been getting flushed and that (i'll spare you the details)
I think it may be just Buea that is experiencing this lack of precipitation because we watched an amazing thunderstorm far away over Douala last night. It was pretty awesome, the sky seems so big in Africa, you can see for miles. The whole sky was popping white with brilliant intensity and burning flashes of electricity but it was so high and so far away we didn't even hear the noise of the bolts tearing apart the sky. We just sat back and enjoyed the show.
