What Does A Whippet Do To Your Brain

Cocobeach well!

touuuuuuus Cuckoo!

How are you??

When I go to Cocobeach is the joy of finding life in the village, this is real life!!
Am I meant to be a village? "
short, the road go, I saw a man holding a dead monkey! :-S Its tail between his neck .... As if they laugh at him! But Gabonese tell me it's good to eat!
I have not tasted, I'm not too keen!

Life at home is different Cocobeach Sindara!
When Jean-Paul, a hearing that knows sign happens, I understand better ... Why AC, etc. .. Thanks to him, I can connect more deeply with hearing ....
But I know less well than hearing these Sindara .. So connect directly (without interpretation) is also important!
I express myself better with the hearing (less discomfort), probably thanks to Alice, the deaf girl who speaks openly.
She goes to school at Lambarenée in the coming year ....
I'm happy! A

Cocobeach I saw dances Bwiti (the ceremony) Day is a little weird .... And I was afraid to see 3 people possessed by spirits !!!!!!!!!!!!!
And another day I witnessed a man who "treats" patients. These patients have to pay and we make music .... Later, in a spirit between this man and he talks to these sick .......
His eyes do not blink!! Nothing at all! The first body has a mind like old weird (the body of man was standing strong, and when it is the mind, body twisted back looks old) and he smoked 3 cigarettes very quickly, and a glass of alcohol dry .....
short, it is very scary !!!!! The 2nd
spirit seems better: no smoking, or alcoholic ... So

spirits really exist !!!!!!

Who can be possessed by spirits?
Those who are introduced to bwiti (if I'm not mistaken), and those who eat Iboga.

I better understand the world of Bwiti.
When we started, we encounter spirits is to discover another world, we know many things, one can see the dead, it can treat the person, etc. ....... But we have no right to tell secrets to the uninitiated.
So I can not get all the answers (if they tell me is they trahisent minds => they will die .. And this I have no desire) is

interesting to discover, but I decided not to introduce myself. This world scares me!
I prefer to keep it simple, a woman who does not know much but is free!

But insiders at bwiti are nice, and I have friends Insiders ... But our choices are different!

Back in Libreville, I'm doing better what transport to take (it's more complicated than in France and in India because no number or sign, or direction). I think the Gabonese are really helpful (although they help me), available, friendly ....
I was just really bad luck to have had bad encounters at the beginning of my journey .... But at least it tells me the danger of the journey, and I must be on guard!
:-) But in general they are nice !!!!!!!

In Libreville, I rode in a truck, car of the police ..... That's cool!

companies I visited ... It's a bit sad for me because they cut 40 trees per day .... It encorme!
Normally, this Saturday I will go 60km liberville with the director of company SNBG to visit the site (cutting wood). Free!
I'm happy, I hope not change your mind!

Oh, I forgot to say that since one month, I have no laptop (It's broken because it was in the water) ... I manage to use other phones .....
And for now, what to do?? I look at the sun, and it's great !!!!!
The place where the sun tells me c'le morning or afternoon or evening :-)
And then he has been cured:-D Cool, it's much cheaper than in France! USUALLY it costs 4 €, but I have paid 8 € (because my skin is white, pfff). In France, how much does it cost? ^ ^

The trip is about to end, only a few days .... It hurts because Gabon, I like it, it's a great country as I love India! These two countries are different but super ! Libreville
When I leave, it means leaving Gabon, rainforest, Gabon, deaf, Alice, villagers ..... And it also means it's the end of the trip with Zellidja .... There is no third ..... I thank enormously
Zellidja is something that is good!! With
Zellidja, I know better, I understand the world, I know what I like, I discovered different life, and I accept it .... With
Zellidja, I met some wonderful (not to mention the worst:-D) Long live
Zellidja!

This must be the last Article in Gabon ....
Big kisses to all,
and enjoy the last moments of the trip!!
soon !!!!!

Maryland Cost To Add Name To House Deed

course not simple, but memorable!

Yooooo everyone!!

Here I am in Libreville .....
He spent a lot of things that it is not easy to tell you in no time ....

Normally we should go see pygmies with family Tatayo (the trip was long, and I was frustrated to live with hearing it is hard ... trèèèèèès oubient They then informed me that they informed the others ... Ralàlà, but it allowed me to be "stronger" and claim, to be angry if something is wrong! But how can you live with your parents hearing? Alright? You must tell me !!!!!)
few days later, they leave me and I should stay there. But at the last moment, I was advised to leave because it is a village of alcohol. I did not want (you really explain why it's dangerous), and stay there ....
And the worst happens: the son of the village head (each village has a chief) wants to marry me. Even if I say no, he cares !!!!!!!! His family seems to be ok !!!!!! It made me terribly peuuuuuur, anxiety!
where I am? Far from world! And besides, they drink!
Chance: hearing people who left, but there are still 4 people, they leave the next day. And it is with them that I'm gone!
I am saved !!!!!!!! But
disappointment: I want to discover the world of pygmies .... Well, they are not actually pygmies as it's been 400 years they were married with great people ....
But they are crazy!

Then the road was complicated punctured tire, etc. ... We moved to
Sindara ... I find this place a lot, and I decided to stay there while others go to Libreville, byyyye! The village chief
seems be well .... Yes, I really protects! This village, I made lots of bad games that I had marrrrre! A policeman
ment, adults want to marry me (but not to party, phew!), And then the wife of the chief of this village is the aunt of the son of the headman of the pygmies. Protection chief reassures me a lot, I feel safe .... But later, it ended up being stuffy ....
Living with hearing, it is hard ......

The August 7, I should leave town, but I want to get acquainted with a young deaf 10 years who do not attend school and who does not sign. I get along with his older brother John-Jack (It is someone well, phew!), And it allowed me to settle in the deaf called Alice for five days. And it's really cool!
His family gives me more freedom, I discover more things, it accompanies me in the forest (later than usual), I watch Gabonese FISH ...... But the demands of marriage or sex do not stop so far, must be firm and repeat "no, no, no, no!"

When I leave (yesterday), it made me super bad!
I love, I love this town!
Here I am in Libreville, I give no such family of Alice to the Association of the Deaf at her to information about the school ....
I want Alice to go to school and she meets people who are deaf!
Now this village I miss enormously, I think much to them, especially Alice!

But I was happy to return to Libreville, Gabon to see the deaf who welcomed me very well !!!!!!!!!!

What brought me this adventure:
- The world of the deaf is even more important to me!
- unless I can enter the hearing world, must always tell when there is something wrong (because otherwise, I cracked!)

Village life is amazing: they live thanks to the forest! Women try some food in it!
In France, if we did not have money, you're screwed (there are only stores)!
In villages in Gabon, if not money, we can live!
And I wash in the river Ogoguée, trooooop well!
Ah, if only the Seine is a little cleaner, sniff!
We eat the fish by hand, and spit the bones on the floor! Cool ^ ^

Today, I should go Cocobeach, but it is not ....
I will keep my parents informed via SMS (you are not obliged to connect the site, just add a comment!)
Otherwise, I do not want to stay in Libreville, I want to go to village !!!!!

I leave you, Happy holidays

And thank you for comments ^ ^
I'll answer later (in 2 weeks or more)

PS: This is incredible, despite the difficult times, there are some very good I will never forget ........
