June 23: Funny looking food

Today is a purple food day: locally grown mangosteen and an eggplant-like vegetable called safou. Same texture but with a bit of tang. BTDT. I will not need to eat these again.


I meet with the Canadian ambassador today. The meeting goes well. Not only does he pledge to financially support a program, but I also get an invitation to celebrate Canada Day at his home. I will have to go shopping for some appropriate formal wear. I am quickly realizing that this mission in Cameroon is not anything like emergency missions in Haiti. Sitting in the meeting is the consul who is happy to meet another Asian Canadian. That makes 4 of us in Cameroon, she informs me.
