    It’s a blessing to have people in your life that you can bounce off ideas with, especially if they’re godly people.

    Thanks for sharing. It is quite overwhelming after our PhD. However with a level head you will catch your balance. More bars in Yaounde than book shops, impressive. Thanks for the video

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much. Yup definitely more bars thank bookshops. I think the bookshops even close because they don't make enough profit. Pretty sad....

    The pep talk part was something. I gleaned a lot from it. Being someone who had been away from the country for some years myself, regaining my focus has been a hassle but this video definitely did something. Thanks Joan and thanks to your wise friend!

    • @JoanSweet

    There’s a lady who sells beignet and beans by my house. The first day I tried her food I suddenly didn’t feel the need to cook as much as I used to. I totally agree that the best places to eat aren’t the most fancy 🤣

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      🤣🤣🤣 you know it!! I will never forget a similar puff puff and beans place i ate in at Ntarinkon.

    Hey Joan, have you tried the bookshops at Melen? The street from Marché Melen upwards toward CUSS hospital and even after, has bookshops and there's a Christian bookshop where I had gotten my own bible I have been using for 7 years now. I don't think there aren't enough bookshops, I just think they don't have good visibility.
    As always, great video! And yes, eru for the win! #No to Fastfood chains in Cameroon😅😅

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay I will check there thank you! As we speak i still haven't gotten one. I also thought of ordering one from the IG bookshop I shared ...I think they do deliveries. But I just wanted to visit a physical bookshop😅. Even mcdonalds employees will be eating eru if they come here 🤣🤣

  • @mutombovisuals6392
    @mutombovisuals6392 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    😂😂😂😂 @ “as a dietician” disclaimer. I stayed for 2 years without soda or sweet drinks while in SA but as soon as I got back to Cameroon, Djino ruined my sobriety

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Omg same here! Didn't take sodas or packaged fruit juice while in SA. Soon as I came back, Djino and Malta awoke sugar cravings 🤣. Now trying to be intentional about how often I take it 😭.

    Why is it so difficult to buy a Bible in Yde? Check near the church. There should be some on sale around churches

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Sassy! 😊👌🏽 I eventually found one thanks to some help from Twitter. 3 that were suggested seem to have closed down. I guess the business is not profitable. Quite sad though. Imagine a franchise like exclusive books/CNA opening in Cameroon...they may not even survive. Just such a complicated country.

    I pray fast food restaurants never thrive in Cameroon. If people only knew the crazy amount of preventable diseases that comes with overconsumption of these! I’m already alarmed at the rate of sugar and processed food consumption in Cameroon. Things that used to be special treats on Sundays or special occasions are now everyday food. It scares me!

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Very true. Thr rate of alcohol and sweet drink consumption in Cameroon is alarming.

  • @luciennevifemseh6156
    @luciennevifemseh6156 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sis Joan, how is the internet situation in Y'de? Can one effectively work online considering the electricity that sometimes may not be there 24/7.

    • @constantinbineli3913
      @constantinbineli3913 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello. Generally when I’m in Yde i use portable wifi routers. It’s like a wifi modem that doesn’t need to be plug to electricity. It’s really small And you can carry it anywhere you need to go in your bag.
      You just put a SIM card in it. CAMTEL, Orange and MTN sell those routers at 30 000 FCFA I think. Then you pay for an internet package and you are good to go.
      I usually go for the 20 000 FCFA /month with Camtel. It’s giving me 4 GB per day.

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I go for the same camtel package and it has been okay so far. Lights don't go off too often actually, but I guess it depends on your quarter aswell 😊

    Can we send a bible to you. A subscriber from UK. In fact I can send you more if you are interrested.

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Waow I will be so grateful. I managed to get a bible eventually but the one you do send, I will gift to bless someone else. I belong to a growing ministry here in Cameroon and not everyone can afford a bible, so I thank you sincerely for your wonderful offer 😊. My email is joanakob@yahoo.com to discuss further.

  • @esthergrace6466
    @esthergrace6466 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That’s disappointing that books/reading is not widely encouraged or made easily accessible in Cameroon. We need to do better.

    • @JoanSweet
      @JoanSweet  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm telling you. Eventually found a book store some days later.
