A big thank you Steve for this blog. I have spent the past couple of days reading it from start to finish as I contemplate my approaching arrival in Bamenda as a VSO-er. I’ve found it honest (more so than I would ever write publicly), thought-provoking, at times very funny and it has pushed my decision to keep a blog while in Cameroon. Not sure how it will go as an experienced blogger, not given to revealing too much and without a clear audience to write for but hope that some of that sorts itself out with time. Reading your blog has certainly prompted me to revisit my reasons for doing a VSO placement and my expectations but it has also left me feeling confident that this is what I want to do. Your frustrations with VSO echo mine concerning the repetitive recruitment process and slow, opaque matching process which almost bought my VSO time to an end before it had really started. It is a shame that our Bamenda paths didn’t cross however I am indebted to you for sharing so much of your...

I've had the fish version of achu with fufu made from potato flakes and bisquick(I think?). Both were excellent tasting. No gastric distress or discomfort, except that I had three dishes of it! Washed it down with the bounty of burgandy wine which my Camaroonian hosts shared with me. My Korean lady friend enjoyed it with as much relish as I. Yes, the fufu is bland, but so is Wonder Bread on a bologna sandwich. It's common in all cultures. Live up to your role as an Omnivore - eat it first before it eats you! Happy Holidays!
