People I know.. or at least took pictures of.

Bamemenda, and the VSO volunteers.

In the foreground is George. Fellow East Camerounian, and great guy.

Standing in the background is Brian, who video taped me killing a pig.

A very exciting subject. Of note, my program officer, Arletter, second from the right... looking oddly.. well, focused.

Jen, Carla and a bunch of people you can't see.

So, energizers.. or things you do to stay awake... I mean how much of an admission of failure is that. This conference is going to be so boring that we have to do things to keep you awake. Anyway, this one was pretty cool.

Cat and mouse. Basically the leader got to choose a cat and a mouse, everyone else was a wall.

When the leader yelled switch, everyone linked arms with the person across from them... and the cat had to catch the mouse... basically a living maze.

Funeral, or remembrance service.

Charly looking very GQ...or emaciated. You make the call.

The new family patriarch. A surgeon in Duala, who came back for the service.Unctuous.

Check out the vien on his head.

I have no idea who this was, but damn what a face.

The head of a major development fund in africa. Development, read, slush.

someone grieving.

and just so you didn't think funerals were all sad and deathy.. some kids singing. Check out the video of this.

a little gold digger.

Total tangent. Nose picking is totally acceptable here.

You will be having a conversation with someone, and whoop. In goes the finger.

I love it here...

Friends and Neighbors

JR. My neighbor with his christmas car.

Tatiana, another nieghbor with her very white doll.

Feral Girl (I still don't know her name because she mostly grunts and hits me) sharing the same white doll.

Lolita, another neighbor, with her small white doll.

and the family portrait..

although, I don't think they are all related by blood... but it is hard to tell.

and the three trouble makers in regular dress.

The kids that cut the weeds in front of my house.

One of my neighbor's kids is in the center.

There are a lot of kids next door.

This is Hervé...

He is Catholic, although he doesn't believe that the pope is God's representative on earth.

This acutally makes him as far as I understand it... um, protestant?

This is one of the students who came to get a school photo.

She is Charly's little brother's woman.. or girl.. or whatever.

This is the first adjutant mayor.

He made sure 3 times, that I got his shoes in the photo.

And nice shoes they are.
