Yaounde Cameroon Yaounde is the capital of Cameroon and is one of the parts of the country where you have different origin of people and types of food and traditions. I was in Cameroon to Yaounde to visit a friend i met on the internet. He took me from the Nsimaleng international airport which is out sketch of the city. Its cost about 650pounds for a two way ticket to Cameroon and for this you have to save some money extra. When we arrived the city, i was so impressed with what i saw but it was in the night and everyplace was busy and i saw that life is out here. Its not a wild, but a paradise there. We lodged in Hilton Hotel which is right at the center of the city. After i had my shower, it was time to go for dinner. My friend took me to some part of the city where its seems it never sleeps. This part is named "Mini Fem" and what i saw here, its not a story to tell but it was good and fun. We had food like "bongo chobi" which taste good but i don't know whats its made from and i never cared to ask, drank beer and mind was "Kadji Beer", smoked cigarettes and went on dancing. the people there are very friendly and always like to chat with you and make friendship. The only bad thing that i hated most was the fact that i couldn't speak french and 98% of the inhabitants there are french. It sucks when you want to inquire something and it s difficult if not of my friend. Its a place to visit. I will continue this story next time. I have to go to work now am sorry.
Advantages: Clean, comfortable and cheap Disadvantages: None
and dining area (two tables with plastic tablecloths) and the office. George is the hotel manager, with Nico as his assistant. The hotel owner lives in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. George and Nico take turns at manning the reception and bar, though with only five guests who are out all day, there is little to do, and naps on the bar sofas are a frequent occurrence (the phrase "doing a George" is soon used by our group for any daytime dozing.) The bar serves locally brewed beer, Castel, Amstel, Mützig, Coca-Cola (full fat only) and the local soft drink, Topp. The beer bottles hold approximately a pint and cost the equivalent of about 50p. Spirits are available (though not recognisable brands), but customers are expected to buy the bottle rather than to buy single measures. There is a small but well tended garden where we often choose to sit ...
