I'm alive! Sorry for the long absence, but things have been nuts around here. Plus the fact that every time I started to go to the cyber cafe either sunspots were blocking the satellite reception or the power was out (living in Africa, thats a regular occurence). I do have good news though, my cooperative finally agreed to and bought a new computer! So, I will be prewriting my posts from now on, which should mean higher quality reading henceforth. This will start on Sunday when I visit the cybercafe in Kribi- yes its a beach weekend folks! Really folks, life is hard here, but people don't seem to believe me...
