Hills and water!

I think we could update the page a bit more often, but as with everything life tends to get inbetween, and here life becomes particulairly noticable as you can go througt your whole register of feelings in just one day. Having said that I want to say that this week has been the far most productive one since our mentor has arrived and we have been able to do our first focusgroup interview with the mothers. We got some very interesting answers and we learned so much. Both about working with the method and about our subject on infant feeding. After the interviews we spent hours transcribing everything, that meant going through everything we had been whriting down during the almost two hours long interview and also everything that was whritten by the three assisting whriters. After that we revised the questions again to get an even better discussion with the next group of mothers.


Enough about work. Yesterday was a day with almost no work and just fun. In the morning we went with our friend Armand to take a long walk along the hills of Yaounde. It felt good to be upo in the mountains again with the fresh morningair and the silence that we never get to enjoy otherwise, not without the earplugs. Then we went to the pool and for the first time since we got here we could enjoy an abundance of wather. It is funny how we take things for granted at home like water, and silence and even effectivness. Yes, this week has really been a good week. In the beginning of the week I was sick and I had been feeling a bit crummy since soon after arriving here, with fever, vomiting an upset stomach etc. Since I had fever it led us to think that I might have malaria, but linnéa talked to a doctor that gave me a recipee for bowelinfection as that would explain the other symtoms to. The medicine has seamed to be working and from thursday I have been feeling better than ever.

There is alot to whrite but right now there is no time because soon we are going to have lunch with some of the people we are working with. We are looking forward to it as alot of people are engaiged in our work and find it interesting.
