Hot Indian Women In Saree With Boobs

Early return

Many of you have come to read my adventures in Cameroon. It's heartwarming. There, I worked on my project and advance university while I was driving a school for my partners on the ground.
rewarding experience although solitary shortened mainly because of problems of plane. He had anticipated my return to get a quick return and does not get stuck in this landlocked province.

Thank you all for coming. It's time for me back to sleep this beautiful instrument of communication.

soon for the next stop ...

Difference Between Jordan Originals And Retros

Roadmap

J 6 - Wednesday, March 12, 2008 - Land

(0700) Today we start to work sooner. Normal management field today. Phew! Finally! That's what I've been waiting my arrival. The day promises to be busy and it is not too much to leave early. Remi and Robert, the driver of the first day, come and get me on board the super 4x4 White IUCN. Our first destination is Waza to half past one route. This time, contrary to my arrival, it is a real road. While potholes remain, but we can still go faster To the extent that one is not embarrassed on the road by motorists or cyclists zigzag overloaded with goods.

(0830) We arrive in time to Waza, a city near a huge park, Waza Park, 170 000 hectares of large, rich place for wildlife and flora. Here we get Diouf, our interpreter-translator for the day. The vast majority of the population of Northern Province est arabe. Nous sommes donc à mi-chemin de notre destination finale, le camp de Maltam, où sont installés les réfugiés tchadiens qui fuient leur pays depuis la guerre de février dernier à N’Djaména.

(09h30) La route est un peu plus difficile. Pas tellement au niveau du revêtement cette fois-ci, mais à cause la chaleur. D’abord nous montons tout à fait au nord du pays où le climat est réellement de type sahélien. Et puis mes potes black avec moi, ils supportent le minimum de clim dans le 4x4. C’est donc pas simple de contrôler son excès de CO2 (petit clin d’œil secouriste) ; je suis déjà en nage ! Nous nous arrêtons the village of Angoud two kilometers from the refugee camp we try to find the village chief. But he is away and then we take all the young community of the village. We obtain information about installing the camp. A few photos later and we leave for camp.

(10:00) A tent World Food Programme (WFP) drew our attention. We arrive at the checkpoint like that of the camp entrance. We are registered with the gendarmerie and the police. The most senior police officer asked us to follow him to obtain permission from the commissioner to enter the camp. When we know sensitive issues surrounding the refugee issue, the police officer tells us the precautionary measures they are obliged to respect. Surprisingly, the Commissioner is particularly attentive to our subject of study. He even tells us some important points of discussion by asking what his name is not mentioned.
(1115) We finally enter the camp. We stationnons 4x4 and will leave for camp residents to interview. No need to go very far. The water pump of the camp is nearby and brings to us many young people who surround us quickly to challenge us. They first think that we're journalists. Three days ago apparently Al Jazeera came to the camp and it did not go well for them. We get our information to painstakingly environmental study while they tell us more about their objections.

(12.00) Once the information recovered from the refugees, we are going in the tent of the French Red Cross to try to supplement our information. In charge of health issues, the site manager FIU responds willingly to questions. The atmosphere is relaxed, especially as I quickly put that I was also the association. In addition, this official, it was mimie ... although a bit dusty ... "almost empty" forces.

(13.30) We arrive in Kousseri, about thirty miles from camp, a border town with Chad, across the Chari River that separates the city of N'Djamena. Kousseri was the first step of Chadian refugees at the time of rebel attacks against the Chadian capital. Here, we talk with the coordinator for UNHCR hydrologist. The main lesson seems to be that the water should not be a problem since the character transient camp. It is a French. The conversation is fashionable, and we greatly appreciated his availability improvised.

(14.30) last step, with the delegated county forests. We question whether the department and therefore has been how to deal with threats of deforestation around the camp. The problems are endemic and are always financial. Our conversation ended, we left for Maroua, three hours away.

(Way Back) On the way back, during the three hours we are talking on different roads subjects trying to compare France and Cameroon. We talk mostly politics and sexuality. I say, not sex ass anyway because my friends do not let go of blacks to the point to talk so gritty! Nevertheless, this trade is very informative, especially on the vision that Cameroonians have the love life of Sarko. Rich teaching on the representation of France abroad.

J 5 - Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - Maroua

(Day) Nothing very particular. With Remi nous peaufinons notre départ sur le terrain demain. Ait envisagé d’aller sur le camp de Maltam dans le nord de la province où sont installés les réfugiés depuis deux semaines environ. Nous souhaitons aussi organiser un certain nombre d’entretiens avec des responsables sur place et des fonctionnaires camerounais pour renseigner notre enquête.

(Discussion) Le soir je « bipe » Thérèse pour anticiper le fait qu’elle passe à l’improviste. Là au moins je gère un peu plus le truc. Normal je la bipe mais ça décroche de l’autre côté… Ça s’ajoute aux 30 euro de hors forfait (comprends pas trop d’ailleurs…) ! The result is a beer, she talks about feelings, I calm "dyrect. I told him: "Then you go back home soon you? "She said, 'no I n'crois not. Something tells me I have to stay ... "" I hope this is not me, I do not want you wasting your time! . Bouhhhhh, one point for me! I'm actually cruel, but hey, since it did not really understand what I told him, I tempered my words a bit when I repeated. Well no, I'm not a bitch, I'm honest:)

In addition, some photos of the hotel:

Long Don John Silver Bilder



J 3 - Sunday, March 9, 2008 - Maroua

(0930) After being re-awakened by the muezzin this night is coming to wake me up Theresa by tapping at my door. Its presence does not necessarily makes me happy, I do not know what she picks. My grandson already eaten, I finally decided to call to offer him out on the town.
(10.05) I first invited to discover that his house is just opposite the hotel. It is a set of earthen construction and cement. I met members of his family. Notably, his uncle, who Aymar almost the same age as us. Find the error. He introduced me to his wife and young daughter. They are gorgeous. He does the laundry in two seals. Needless to say the color of the water. But ultimately, it says nothing about the cleanliness of the machine. And he, his linen is dry in 20 minutes, of course!
(10:30) With Paul, another uncle, Theresa and we leave for the big market of Maroua, active every day, and large activity area of the city. Super bike ride and once there, towards the first commercial craft. Must say, there are too many pretty things. For sure I will return at the end of my stay. Of course, I am subject to numerous requests from vendors, but it's Part of the charm of these places. We visit the various stalls when the market is organized in different sectors. A corner for textiles, a corner for DIY mechanics, for skin care products, etc.. But undoubtedly, the place most characteristic of this kind of place is the part below the exposure of food. Fruits, vegetables, spices and other seeds are not the problem. For cons, the stalls that expose the dried fish and meat smell that takes on the nose. I tried to play it quiet, but my nose stung me!
(12h45) Après une petite pose désaltérante, nous partons visiter les forges de Maroua. Ni usines ni ateliers équipés, mais des petites cabanes où des personnes de tous âges forgent le fer. Les techniques sont rudimentaires mais mettent en valeur la qualité de ces « artisans » à transformer la matière. Souvent issue de la récupération, ces forgerons fabriquent n’importent quels outils ou ustensiles. La suite de notre ballade me permet de découvrir les nouvelles écoles de Maroua, fruit d’un don des Japonais à la ville. D’abord étonné de voir les Japonais s’afficher ici, je comprends qu’il n’y a pas que les Chinois investing in Africa now. Back at the hotel for work, I plan to find my comrades out later in the day.
(17.40 hrs) I will face, at "my guests" of Cameroon. They are very hospitable. So with my laptop I organize the animation of the late afternoon. Music, videos, photos, everything goes. And it is rather a success. I'm happy, although I say that I owe more to the computer, more than my own qualities ... That's also a little Western! Always Is the software making photo and image distortion is a great success! Everybody laughed at these bizarre pictures.
(1900) Time passes and the little family, especially women, invited me to dinner. Sitting on a kilt, we eat a homemade couscous, polenta. Hands washed, and apprehension of eating food that can cause me health problems, I take my food (and my courage) with both hands to better enjoy this delicious meal. And with the hands is so much better. I'm the laughingstock of others that amused me See Gallery on eating properly. It also means that I make way while I'm just enjoying the meal before me! Finally, the evening ends with a few photos and umpteenth not sound ... Vengaboys - Boom boom boom bou ... na na na na na na ...
(2100) In my room, I'm back at work . Tomorrow, with Remi, we must provide a schedule of work. I also want to be convincing that he understands the interest from several days in the field. Especially as the study of Chadian refugees is a hot topic on which I intend to also reorient my research university. A final surprise was evident. Therese, who is again invited on the outside my door. I do not like it very much. I finally make him understand that I do not want to have that kind of behavior with me. Not sure she understands. These are probably the vagaries of the learning of others.

J 2 - Saturday, March 8, 2008 - Maroua

(0400 approximately) So it is not well make fun of religion (hey mom and dad?), but I begin to explain to my first nights here difficult. If you followed above, you learned that the province was inhabited by Catholics as well as Muslims. And for them is prayer five times a day. However, my hotel is right next to a mosque. So, naturally, very early in the morning I hear the muezzin from the top of its minaret prayer rule. Without condoning his behavior, I now understand a little better why, in his time from his hotel in Cairo, Hubert Bonnisseur the Bat, alias OSS 117, was surprised by that early morning call to prayer.

(0930) Small fat-mat. Remi today since I was picked later. It is striking as the temperature rises a few hours. It is already at least 30 degrees in the shade. Departure for the IUCN office.

(11:05) Youpiiii! I had my first Internet access. No time to do much, just to update my blog and publish some of this newspaper. I'm not even going to the SIORD where on the site of the Team ... I am surprised myself. With Remi, we receive a visit from Clementine, a co-Remi in Maroua who works in a different NGOs in the city that deals with educating young people's interest in reforestation. All three leave for the city center in search of curtains for the new premises of the IUCN.

(11:25) Remi With we stay in the vehicle while Clementine will buy the fabric. We park some distance from the seller of cloth so that the presence of 4x4 and a white, in this case me, does up prices of the goods. This is an opportunity to talk with Remi of life here, and Cameroon more widely. He explains the mentality of Cameroonians, but also known for their peaceful silent acceptance of their poverty. Reputed to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world, Cameroon remains a poor country. Regardless of political awareness and recognition on the role played by the same president for 25 years in the country's stability sufficient to silence discontent. Ceux-là ne sont pas absents pour autant, en témoigne les événements récents à l’Ouest du pays, à Yaoundé et Douala.

(12h15) Nous poursuivons notre shopping à trois cette fois-ci. Entre temps j’ai pu changer de l’argent à la sauvette. Le vendeur a hésité à prendre mes euro. Il ne voulait que de très grosses coupures. Sa première question : « As-tu des billets de 500 ? ». Un peu surpris je lui réponds que non. « 200 ? 100 ? ». Non, non… des billets de 50, 20, 10 par contre… Il n’est pas emballé par mes petites coupures. En même temps, c’est pas comme si c’était common to have such big ticket home. Finally, it is not to pray for my 50 euro. Then we walk through the small aisles of shops Maroua. We are looking for valuable tethers for curtain rods. And it's crazy like shops that sell the same thing, succeed each other. Not easy for many to find the right piece at the right price.

(13:30) Remi hungry! And he does not laugh with hunger Remi. So we take our neighborhoods at a restaurant whose name speaks for itself: "Yum-Yum gurgling." A very good restaurant where you eat well for cheap! Oxtail it will not for me yet. But promise next time I tempted! At the table we discuss the "International Day of Women." It is a day well attended in Cameroon, the day when women leave their traditional tasks of housekeeping and cooking for men to enjoy and have fun. Traditional clothes are out and the alcohol that intoxicates the streets and their occupants. Beyond the folklore, it was a substantive discussion with Clementine and Remi. They issue every two reservations about the desirability of such a day. They believe, rightly I think, that this day is primarily a means of " just "women's aspirations to greater equality in the daily view. More than Women's Day is the day of the goodness of man (with a small "h" de rigueur).

(2:10 p.m.) Back at the hotel. I should go after the weekend alone. Finally not only so, since, to my astonishment, a member of hotel staff came to my room to bring me a paper with a phone number. According to him, the number of a girl who lives across from the hotel. I told him I will not call, but I accept she comes to see me. "What this plan," said I figured once the door closed. Well I stay cool, even fashion hunk, I continue my work on my doorstep. Then I visit this young Cameroonian few moments later.

(Visit Teresa, the girl opposite, who likes white ...) It's been a while a bit unusual. We spent an hour together. We talked about everything and anything, especially when she told me she liked to be placed with white. Difficult indeed to keep the conversation while we live in worlds with such different codes. Never mind, Therese does not deflate, and in his sky blue traditional dress, she balance: "have you ever gone out with a negro? . Well, two things will happen. First if you want, I say "black", and yes, when I was in college. Cash, like her, I continue by saying that I have a girlfriend in France. Did not count on his imagination, "and Cameroon? . I smile, normal mode though uncomfortable! "No, no, I have a girlfriend at the time. I am loyal. I confess she winced a bit on " faithful. " Anyway, I was clear! Not to remain on this failure, we have fun with the camera, and I showed him some pictures of France. I must say, she had the eye to spot the naked torsos of "white nose" immortalized in drunken evenings. I immediately said: "Val, your chest is now a legend in Cameroon ... Thank push-ups! .

(1900) After Teresa left again with the promise to meet again when I get a little time, and after witnessing the defeat of PSG live from Cameroon, I'm back a bit in my notes, but without much conviction. Finally solitude weighs on me a little, but not that I have the courage to go outside alone. I'm trying to reach Teresa, but in vain, the network is saturated. I spend the evening alone with my work, my music and TV (Y'avait the Miss Cameroon North!). Sleep finally takes me a good time with as a project in mind for the next day exploring Maroua.


is the class as resto! Well me is my canteen lunch!

J +1 - Friday, March 7, 2008 - Maroua

(J 2, 1:07, my first day ends, head full of plans ...) Lying in my bed in my head I'm making my first day Full and Maroua in Cameroon.

(0700) The alarm rings. Finally my phone rang. It will be his main utility here. The outdoor temperature and the glow of morning invite themselves through the curtains of my room and imagine the day that is taking place. The people here (and I even think it's a habit mainland) rises early to take advantage fresh for hours.

(7:34)
time to emerge more and I won the courtyard. Seated at a table, I found I had crossed Pascale in Paris during the training day Planète Urgence. The current was well spent. My impression is confirmed here. We share our "breakfast" Continental flavor to its mission, which ends today. I try as much as possible to get information from it quickly on the utility that I have on the field. His words confirm me as I am enthusiastic about them. She recounts her experience, her joy at having échangé, apporté et reçu avec les gens pendant ces quinze jours. Elle me raconte les discussions qu’elle a pu avoir avec des officiels chargés des problématiques d’eau dans la plaine d’inondation de Waza-Logone (PIWL). C’est passionnant. Entre temps j’ai pris le lait en poudre pour du parmesan. Il va falloir que je renonce aux produits laitiers temporairement.

(08h05) Rémi arrive à l’hôtel. Ponctuel. Qui a dit les Africains ne se souciaient pas des horaires ?! Je termine mon petit-déjeuner, boucle mon sac à dos pour la journée. Aujourd’hui, découverte et travail au bureau de l’UICN à Maroua.

(08h20) Cinq à dix minutes en voiture nous séparent de l’hôtel. Les locaux de l’UICN sont propres et semblent récents. En tout cas l’emménagement de cette antenne du bureau régionale de l’UICN de Yaoundé est bien agréable. Il n’y a pas la clim. Mais tant mieux. Sinon quelle différence faire entre un bureau en France et au Cameroun si je ne peux même pas profiter de la température ambiante. Je fais la connaissance de Judith, étudiante en DESS en foresterie à l’Université de Yaoundé et qui effectue son stage à Maroua. Gilbert, qui s’occupe de l’animation et de la coordination avec les communautés locales au sein du bureau. Finally, a guard-old, watching the ups and downs. Remi on his side working to make me the owner's lap.

(0900) course, here in Cameroon, they lack the elements necessary connections to link my "mac" to the Internet. And Pascale which then plays the perfidious! With Remi, we talk in his office for the details of my stay there. It begins by introducing myself the region and its multiple characteristics. I manage carefree to understand what he talks to me and allows me even to raise the question naturally and on points of clarification. I think I felt comfortable. We speak the same language and same language. Two proposals, not septate differ from his speech. He proposes to work on implementation issues of Chadian refugees in northern province subsequent to the war in February and whose camps are located on the flyways of elephants in Waza Park to the south and seek to join the fleet in Kamalélou northern PIWL. It suits me really! Another proposal, to address the problems of wood and transhumance of local populations and refugees who are putting pressure on the environment.

(9:20) I finished out my views at Remi. We agree on how to proceed. The first is for me to see areas where I will be more competent and useful work of IUCN. By early next week we plan to adopt research tracks the time of my mission. Indeed, in this specific context, Remi makes me realize that my short presence here will compel us to have a strong pace. So much the better, again, I really want to be able to contribute something here.

(11:07) Pascale bend his luggage and climbed into the 4x4 IUCN Robert and Rémi direction Garoua where the flight ahead. I'm staying with Judith, with whom I exchange a bit. Then we release our organization to get the credit card with internet and telephone as well as change some money before returning to the hotel. And that is where the adventure begins.

(12.00) Our first objective is to combine two motorcycle taxis that lead us to our first destination. In Maroua, many young men in flowing yellow bikes without helmets or retro or clignos. Some wear a yellow bib. Difficult to find two bikes for Judith who offer us a price honest. The race is usually 100 CFA francs (15 euro cents), but with a white at his side, Judith must negotiate face a sudden price inflation. I climb behind my driver and go for a ride the "hair" in the wind and dust in the eyes. Our journey lasted several minutes for short distances because the bikes moving haphazardly and each intersection is a new danger. We conduct our little shopping like that until I returned to my household gods, in the shadow of my hotel.

(Afternoon) My afternoon is going solo in between my room and hallways of my hotel where the material that I potash Remi gave me prepare for our fieldwork. I make sure to identify the best area in which we will evolve in the coming days. The rest of the day is not much more lively. I concentrate on my reading and learning capabilities of my camera.

(21.15) Um, these green Sprite bottle. It really reminds me Zim. Seated at a table in the courtyard. There are small lights and a light breeze flowing, which makes the atmosphere very pleasant. A detail may be disturbing the peace this evening. The TV in the bar, with a very strong, and that broadcasts the "Masons of the heart." The contrast is quite striking.

(2200)
Back in my room. I turn first to TV and was surprised to discover that I have decrypted Canal +. Tried at first, quickly put it out this object of distraction before playing a final on matters relating to my next research project.

Boob Groping On Train Of Unwilling Victim

Roadmap

D-Day - Thursday, March 6, 2008 - Maroua

(J 1, 18:45, power outage Hotel Rawa. Sitting on the floor at my doorstep I decided to go ...) A year and a half after my return from Zimbabwe, I return to Africa. Always in sub-Saharan Africa, but without crossing the equator this time, even if I approach. My final destination is Cameroon.

(9:10) Boarding my flight to Garoua takes 40 minutes late. Retard forerunner since with two hours late on the initial take-off time or at 11:28, the aircraft leaves the runway at Roissy. The Cameroon Airlines and myself we send into the air for several hours a ... simple comfort.

(1700) Arrival at International Airport Garoua. International? In good ... On the descent of this charming "cuckoo", the conclusion is immediate: "ouch, it's hot." Not really surprised. But the heat is significant, heavy. Over 40 degrees in mid-afternoon. The control formalities completed, go for luggage.

(1800) I get my luggage. Not that I was beginning to melt on the spot, but close. Robert joined me. This is my "driver" for transport to Maroua. He said he immediately recognized me through the windows that symbolize the separation between the transit area and Cameroon. No problems, friendly as he walks through the door and joined me smile. The Cameroonian hospitality does not bother customs constraints. [J 1, 7:05 p.m., and there was light!] We know the time that the belly of the plane dégurgite my business. He is tall, "nwoirre nwoirre home" with a small thick hair (I love this country already ... where are the Africans who are all like that?) Dressed in a dark blue jacket and trousers that distinguish as "Uper class" among others. And of course sunglasses screwed on the top of the skull, proud imitation of the famous Ray Ban.

(6:20 p.m.) We are at the bus station. Robert and I got out of our taxi. Is what I'm already mounted in a car leaner? I think not. Unable to identify the brand (what desolation for me, son of a car professional!). As it rolls, and that's all that matters. Anecdotally, this wheel must be turning over a quarter turn to get a slight deviation of the car on the road. It's not the steering, direction is amplified! On the road connecting the airport to the bus station, I know my first contact with the atmosphere North Cameroon. Garoua is a concert of mopeds to super gavaged who smoke as they sputter. I like. In addition, although must not abused, the super smells good. Traffic is chaotic. No traffic lights, no road markings or signs. However, in this disorder that I see as such a rule on organization. The ants just crawling. She even teeming song, "Young lady" Diam's appealing to my ears as we passes the shopping district. The 9.1. exported so far?

(18.30) our tickets in hand, we sit on a "super-car. A special customization allows the engine driving Mercedes and Toyota to mix. The seat is comfortable, air-conditioning in the wind and speed. We're off to Maroua, 90km further north. Following the unavailability of the 4x4 of the NGO at the time of my arrival, I discover my first kilometers in Cameroon along with fellow travelers camourenais.

(19.15) Super , the driver thinks laying pee. "Louis-Marie, is the hour of prayer" blows me Robert. Too bad-ft. The majority of the population is divided between Muslims and Christians, and some naturally accept the practices of others. The prayer time I reject invitations to share Robert meat and eggs sold at retail display. I did not tell him that's not to pick up a little something to bide my arrival. "We will go there if you'll crescendo Robert, I think. For these small cons dried dates, it can not refuse. Perfect combination between a certain caloric intake and body mithridatization my health conditions sur place.

(20h30) Nouvel arrêt sur la « route » qui nous mène à Garoua. Un checkpoint sauvage nous stoppe et permet aux enfants des abris et chaumières alentours d’accourir pour nous proposer un fruit, une pâtisserie ou une boisson pendant que le chauffeur lui, arrose d’une pièce le contrôleur paré d’un gilet plus vraiment orange réfléchissant. La longue branche d’arbre qui faisait office de barrière se lève à la seule force d’un adolescent de quatorze ans. Notre périple reprend.

(Voyage à bord du « car express ») Ailleurs, sur des pistes ski poles strewn, certainly, our driver would have had a medal. Blend of speed and slalom, road, or rather the paving of the runway is littered with potholes. [I pause a few minutes to try to make a lizard out of my room. In vain, he likes the softness of the air conditioning. (Yes I know, I have the air conditioning ...)] There are [so] for all tastes: from the small hole at the big crevasse, the road is fraught with pitfalls. One wonders how the shock can take. And something even more astonishing, the odometer showed more than 830 000 km! There is no error zero.

(10:15 p.m.) We finally arrive. Several stops and hours after our departure from Garoua, Maroua softness appears, even at night. The journey was long and difficult given the harshness of the trail. Almost four hours to 90 km. And yet the driver does not hang. Patiently waiting at the bus station, Remi, my partner and main contact for my mission field joins us aboard the air-conditioned 4x4 IUCN. Him that we found waiting for us at last. Adorable, he escorts me to my hotel.

(2230) After a few recommendations et l’heure de rendez-vous fixée pour 8h le lendemain matin, je gagne ma chambre 113, simple et confortable. Je prends un douche tiède qui me délasse beaucoup et me convainc que le sommeil n’est plus très loin. Le temps de grignoter quelques barres céréalières et de préparer plusieurs litres d’eau purifiée, je m’allonge sur mon lit, couvert d’un simple drap, et soutenu à la tête par un oreiller rembourré au maximum ! L’oreiller gonflable vient finalement accompagner ma nuit.

ecological studies in the floodplain of Waza-Logone

Mais encore me direz-vous...

Cet intitulé de mission récapitule parfaitement for which I am supposed to go on a mission. It is in the far north province Cameroon, studies of land that can keep track of the changing environment, both fauna and flora that aquatic environments, fisheries, etc. .. .

The Waza-Logone region is located in the Lake Chad Basin, south of Lake Chad, a vast floodplain during periods of rain and several months later. The rainfall occurs from June to September, and water covers this vast area until March. During this period, saw the flood plain and gives way to lush vegetation, which satisfies both the activity pastoralist, the animal stomachs. Besides the rivers and lakes that benefit from these floods, and even all the fishing societies.
However, after some development projects in the late 1970s, especially the construction of dams upstream of rivers, flooded areas previously were left largely without water for the benefit of rice culture. This has had serious consequences on the environmental balance of the region, as well as on human populations living in this economy rains. Since then, the floodgates of dams have been more open to allowing the return of life in these areas. But some "legacy" remain.

My job will be to provide logistical support and humane place. I should especially devote myself to writing papers for future field studies. I will also be on the field to observe and advance in preliminary studies. It is a program loose that should not be closely watched. For more details, click on the title of this post!
I will also try to reconcile the on-site work with that I carry in college and dealing with the issue of "environmental refugees" (= people who flee their native habitat following degradation of their environment) of the Lake Chad area. I can further develop later the exact purpose of my research project.

That in a nutshell what awaits me there. It seems that I must prepare myself to discover one of the most beautiful part of Africa. I only wish to see.

you soon ... from there this time!

Put Costumes Poptropica

Next stop: Savannah (as tempting as a snack!)

And now, I have the opportunity to rewrite this blog several months after his sleep. The time has come to somewhat selfishly blablater. It's not that I missed, but almost ...

If I open this page, because I am going to Cameroon two weeks. This new destination is a double opportunity: the return (finally) in Africa, and also the opportunity to make progress on my thesis project, project on which I will soon enlighten you while trying not to stultify :-) (I would not want to have the audacity to think that everyone cares!)
long as possible, I'd like to share this experience. Probably not overnight. Probably not very interactive. But so intimate that you know what I'll find out and that you are interested why not also the content of my experience in Cameroon.

Finally, undeniably, the blog is the best way to give news to everyone and let you live my trip there thanks to some beautiful pictures!

I give you in future posts more details about the object of my mission there.

Glad to meet you all!
Enjoy with me!
