有趣逸事

在這兒生活，每天都會發生一些有趣的事．
通常我於晚上十時睡覺，早上六時半至七時起床．
由於昨晚還未準備好今天的課，於晚上十時半還在工作．正當我在苦幹時，突然聽到有人在門外喚：「Pinky! Pinky! Pinky!」．由於已夜深了，所以特別當心，要肯定的認識並信任的人我才會開門，我便問：「是誰？」但他沒有回答，只是繼續喚：「Pinky! Pinky! Pinky!」我便望向窗外，怎料來訪者竟是鄰家的兩歲小孩！他趁他的媽媽到厠所時偷走到我家呢！

Shi Song hospital and water fall

Shi Song Hospital is one of the best hospitals in Cameroon and many people from Douala, the largest and busiest city in Cameroon, and Yaoudend, the capital city of Cameroon, come to this hospital for surgery.



There is a water fall near the hospital. Although it’s still the dry season and there is not much water, it’s still nice to visit it.

Women’s Day

8th Mar is the international women’s day and we got celebration here. In the morning, different groups of women gathered in the field and had a marching. It was supposed to begin at 9am but since the Senior Divisional Officer(SDO) was late (basically he never comes on time in any event), it started at around 10:30 instead. After singing the national song, and the speech delivered by SDO and guests, there was marching by different women groups. This is the first time I preformed in a marching!!
Afterwards, almost everyone went to bar and celebrate with their group. We got a huge lunch with chicken and fish with the women from Navti!!!!! =]
By the way, when the SDO was delivering his speech, there was a strong wind with dust and everyone on the stage was suffered! It was so funny and luckily I was waiting for the matching and was not on the stage.

人情味

已經連續第四天沒有自來水了．
昨天到了山下取水．那是個很艱辛的路途，山路已很難行，還要抬著20L的水！
幸好得到很多本地人的幫助，每當有人見到我沒有力繼續，他們就會幫我抬一小段路，否則我定必不能完成整段路程！

關於食物 – fu fu corn 及 jama jama

fu fu corn 及jama jama 是Kumbo內的主要食糧，fu fu 是一種於喀麥隆常見的食物，可以是fu fu corn、fu fu yam或其他fu fu．而jama jama 則是喀麥隆西北部的特產．
Fu fu corn 是把乾粟米粒磨成粉，而後加水煮成．Jama jama 是一種植物，用紅油煮成（本土的食物大都用紅油而非植物油）．

關於食物 – garri and pear

在這兒，我們稱牛油果為pear（梨），進食garri時，我們都會拌以pear．
Garri是黃色的穀類食物，加入水（不用熱水）及糖便可．它的味道有點像雀穀（雖然我未曾嚐過雀穀），而且當中夾雜殼，總括說我不喜歡這食物．

關於食物 – achu

於Kumbo 最常見的食物是 fufu 及jama jama，而Arch則於Bamenda 比較常見．前天無意中於Kumbo 的Square 發現了一處售賣Achu的地方．
那灰色的東西是cocoyam，再拌以黃色的「湯」．跟fufu corn或米飯不一樣的是他們不會特意地暖著cocoyam 或湯．我吃的時候那碟achu 已不是暖的．
這種食物也挻特別的，很易入口，但相比起來，我比較喜歡fufu 及jama jama，大概因為我較喜歡熱食吧．
在這兒的餐廳進食通常也會有蒼蠅打擾，而這次當我進食時，有兩隻竟撞入那些黃色的湯中，店主用湯匙把蒼蠅取走便讓我繼續進食，嗯，大菌食細菌，應沒太大問題吧．
