Settling into Dschang

Alriiigghhhht. We just got into Dschang, our program's main location with the longest homestay. It's been quite the past week. For anyone whose never been to Africa (maybe developing nations in general), it's truly a new experience. Everything around you is different - people all around walking long the roads, constant attention since you are the only white people around, and dust everywhere. What is luxury here is nothing like luxury at home.
We've spent the last few days in Banjoun at the compound of a wealthy woman, getting to know eachother, learning the country's basics and eating very well. I happen to be the only male on the program, which might be trying, but I expect I can handle it (I do get special attention, considered kind of a chief). All the girls are so interesting, everyone with their own amazing experiences all leading up to this. Christianne is the program director, a cameroonian native who is so helpful and smart. She speaks 7 languages!
We've spent a fair amount of time traveling so far. Roads are all paved so far, but many in poor condition. In general, driving here is hectic and dangerous.
Computers are interesting, and we're about to have a power outage...
P.S.!! my cell number here is 2375644643 (237 is the country code) we're six hours ahead. till next time...
