So I officially have internet and I have decided that I want to post one blog a week. So here is the first one:
I was trying to think of an interesting thing about Cameroon the other day and the first thing that came to mind was handholding. Now, in America, as you know, it is common for a couple to hold hands. In Nyamboya, this is completely unheard of. People are aghast if they see a man and a woman doing any kind a embracing. However, what is perfectly acceptable is for two men (who are just friends) to hold hands. Therefore, around my village, I see plently of man couples with fingers firmly interlocked and arms swinging. This is even more bizarre because in a country where homosexuality is illegal, the only sort of acceptable public affection is between men.
