This check point just popped up one day in the middle of nowhere and in more than a year I never saw it manned. It's nice looking though.

Gari is fermented cassava that has been ground and roasted. It's a common field lunch for the farmers as one can simply mix it with cold water and eat. It's good. It also lasts through the dry season.

There's a sign here for the meeting place of "The Mbororo's Old People Club" that I always wanted to go to but never got the chance. The Mbororo people are a muslim tribe who came from the north a few hundred years ago but still keep to themselves living simply in the hills and raising cattle. I think a club of the old ones would be a nice bunch to have a pot of tea with.

Ashia is a pidgin word (the francos use it too) that means "That sucks, sorry". It's used when you are sick and when your family member dies and when you step in puddles. All 30-passenger busses are called nissans

Baba is to tie the baby to the back with a towel or piece of fabric. Safe, effective, and cheaper than a Snuggly

The children love to watch the Jujus come out. These girls look a bit unsure, though.
