Landed at Yaounde airport. Luggage nowhere to be seen. Other people missing luggage too. Not just me.
Met by two VSO people Menge and Yusuf. Met other volunteers from Canada. Very diverse people. Quebec City, Halifax, Vancouver and North West Territories.
Ride back to hotel amazing. Streets filled with people. Heat, humidity and smells very strong.
Definitely not in Canada.
VSO gave us welcome kit. Bottle of water, cold and refreshing, flashlight, mosquito net and agenda.
Given 6 x 10,000 francs for meals. (10,000 cfa = $20.00) Only problem $10,000 bill not easy to cash.
Went for dinner with Sara, a volunteer from North West Territories. Native Cameroon dish Ndole Poulet Fume. It was spicy creamy spinach-like dish poured over chicken Very different - very bitter taste.
Back to the hotel. Head was still spinning.
