My weekend in Douala

Hi,

Just after lunch on Friday we made our way to Douala. On the main street of Buea, we (Mauro, Mauro's sister, Advice, Lea and I) directly found a car which drove us for 2000 CFA (3,05 €) to Douala. Since we were six people, it was in the car on the back seat very tight. So the police can not directly see that formally seated in the car one too many, we should put the four of us on the back seat, which was extremely tight and any movement impossible. Nevertheless, we came to a police check (my first), in the first time I took a copy of my ID. Problems have occurred only because of the allegedly overloaded car, even though for Cameroon seems rather a person with little in the car was sitting. But after a short time after a bill has probably changed the owner, could go on. With BonabĂ©ri reach the suburb of Douala, the road surface becomes worse. In the paved road there are large potholes and in some cases instead of tar is still dry and dusty sand with stones available. The further you get to Douala, the denser the traffic. The roadsides are lined with large factories, warehouses and trucks parked or scrap tires and automotive applications. Among other things, promotes a stationary truck on the roadside of Rewe for fresh consumption and on the street a van drives by the Rugby Club Leipzig. If these cars are beyond repair, they are "exploited" and the skeletons of rusting in the landscape before him, which always results in images such as this, which I took on the road from Douala to Buea:

In Douala the next we can spend in the apartment of Advice sister. After a brief stop in the apartment where we make fresh. Let's go to a bar where you sit directly above the sea and can enjoy his beer. Then we drive back into town where we eat at a crowded place to fish settle. And everywhere you walk around the peddlers sell their handkerchiefs, cigarettes, chewing gum, clothing, art, shoes and more. After a delicious fish, it goes back again to the apartment, where we once again dip slightly. Weather in Douala is really hard to bear (very hot, humid and sticky) and you're already sweaty again right after the shower. Against 23:30 clock we head towards the Maxim Club. Here we are almost the first and the dance floor still empty. However, there are pleasant temperatures, as the air conditioner performs well. Over time, also fills the club and we drink whiskey and cola. Just as Night Club in Limbe in the dance floor was surrounded with mirrors all around. Until about 3:30 clock we have a few friends from Mauro celebrated there before we went to another nightclub. Especially when it comes out of the first clubs to a power failure and for a short time (before the generator is turned on), it is dark and quiet. In another nightclub, we then spend more time clock to 6 am. Until then, the club has already cleared accordingly. It is striking again that amazing in the two night clubs many "whites" are. After a short night of Saturday hanging out one day longer to recover and. Around noon, there is a good breakfast and the afternoon we take Adivce to the Happy Sport and Leisure, a leisure center where there is a pool for bathing and swimming. The weather is just right for this, even if the water would like to have something cool can be. Also, the pool was so full that a swimming was almost impossible. In the evening we still get a nice delicious dinner, for then lie down relatively early. Late Sunday morning we set off down the way back to Buea. Arriving at the launch site of the cars we were asked by all sides toward our goal. For 2000 CFA per person we could find a car that drives us to Buea. Now it's wait until the car is filled with 6 passengers. Around it swarmed on the field there of people as hawkers or from their stalls from bread, handkerchiefs, cookies, and more sales. Closely pressed together, it went back to fourth in the back to Buea, where we arrived around noon. There, I've visited
after five days without internet again a cyber cafe. Because the had closed Cyber \u200b\u200bUAC, I went to another where I could enjoy for 250 CFA (0,38 €) per hour, a comparatively fast Internet connection. On Monday, will now operate the new connection in cyberspace by UAC. I hope this is just as fast. In the afternoon I've never met with Marcel and we ate something and I did something with it German learned. Thus, the exciting and impressive weekend was already over and tomorrow starts the work day again. Many were
Greetings
Jannik
