Strange things in Cameroon...
One of my favorite things about traveling around here is just the completely random and strange signs and other things we see around here. Some examples:
A HIV prevention sign at our bunkhouse in Buea that read, "What's more dangerous than poison and witchcraft? It's HIV!" Here's a picture:
The "Alaska" popsicles that they sell on the street.
And, while I was emailing in an internet cafe in Bamenda, on the abandoned computer next to mine I read an open email, which, apparently, is part of a Cameroonian monkey export scam to Mexico. The email read: "Thanks for sending the pictures. I live in Veracruz, MEXICO. Where do you live? Are u sure that in one day ill have the monkeys here? Where do we
have to deposit the money?" You can't make this stuff up. I don't know if I prefer that they get their monkeys, or that they get scammed.
Also, the painted warning signs inside the minibuses, including this one:
Isaac was about to vomit, but then I pointed out the sign and he was then able to control himself.
