No computer, no going outside my gates. I am feeling quite cooped up today. I finally start reading Lawrence Hill’s Any Known Blood. I had bought the book to read in Haiti but was too busy during that mission. Today, being bored out of my wits without my computer drove me finally to its pages.
Yannick and Marcel comes to take me out in the afternoon. I am paying them for the privilege to exit my doors as I am not allowed out unaccompanied. They find someone with keys to the office. At least I will have computer access for the rest of the weekend.
I visit Casino, a branch of the French supermarket chain. The selection is quite impressive for Cameroon. I still cannot find my favourite chocolate--close though--I find Cote d’Or. I even find Cyprian halloumi cheese. After a visit to this sterile market, I head to the open food market where sterile it certainly is not. I gingerly make my way around the piles of decaying produce to the various food stalls. One thing noted: I will not be starving these next few months. However, one visit to this market is enough. I will ask Yannick to shop from now on.
