From the 13-18 Aug me and Frida spent some lovely days of sunbathing and relaxation on the coast of Cameroon, in a little city called Kribi. The place is known for its beaches and fairly well-developed touristical commodities. There are quite a few hotels and there are frequent busses going to and from the cities like Yaounde. The bustrip itself is an experience never to forget!
Our hotel, Jardin d'Eden, was just next to the beach. Waking up and going to sleep to the sound of waves instead of loud music was great! And of course we went swimming in the ocean. And of course we had the lovely fresh fish and shrimps!
Our time here in Cameroon is running out! When writing this we have only five days left and it is time to wrap up our work and to say our goodbyes. The last work is soon done to the transcriptions from the interviews and questionmarks are dealt with. Last week we did yet another focus group discussion/interview, this time women with high socio-economic standards. The women were ever so talkative, which indeed means that we have a good material to work with! Four interviews all in all. One more than planned. We are well pleased!
Having so few days left we want to make the most of it. Yesterday we went dancing at our gym, Buffalo new Fitness club in Essos, again. We finally got to do some pongo! It is actually a dance deriving from Ivory coast, but coming across it when we've met people, we were in the need for a lecture in how to do it properly. So much fun! Other than that we have been doing different kinds of traditional dances, all great fun and a lot of movement!
Moreover we have visited the zoo here in Yaounde, done the last shopping and had a great time!
Two weeks after returning to Sweden, the first draft of the essay is suppossed to be finished. So we have work cut out for ourselves. But for now, all goodbyes to tell!
To be continued..
