6 REASONS we LOVE BEING A CAMEROONIAN
If we were given the choice to live seven times and choose our country of birth each time, we would choose Cameroon every single time! Here is why:
1. THE FOODWe're sure you are not surprised why this is top on our list because This kitchen is a foodie in active service. However, it’s not just because of our love and slight craze for anything that enters the mouth and goes down to the tummy. It is because Cameroonian food is really the best. We have seen various kinds of food from different cultures yet none of them come close to the finesse and character of Cameroonian meals.Cameroonians are so creative with meals that they would take one main ingredient and create various delicacies with it. For instance, Egusi (melon seeds) is mainly used for soup in some countries. However, in Cameroon, Egusi is used to make Egusi Pudding, Stewed Greens, and Soup. It is also added to porridge and stews.Cameroonian meals are so easy to love and they appeal to a wide range of people. We truly believe the beauty of Cameroonian cuisine needs to be ravished by the entire world.2. THE LANGUAGES
Source We feel blessed that our country has two official languages, which are English and French. We barely knew beyond “bonjour” in French while growing up since we come from the English speaking part of the country. However, we had to learn French as a compulsory subject in school then on the streets in French-speaking areas. Now we're glad that apart from English, we have a basic working knowledge of another language. It’s a privilege.
3. THE SCENERY
You won’t find this in the U.S.
Source Ahhh look at that! 
Source We miss seeing this during road trips. Source
This is still connected to the scenery. We love the fact that apart from seeing it, you get to feel it. Here we are with girl number 2 in 2013 in our boyfriend (we mean, husband) Mr N.’s village.
We already mentioned in our post on nine things we miss about Cameroon that we miss the constant touch with nature. We truly love the fact that we can walk on roads without tar sometimes and just feel some ground penetrating our feet. It may be weird to you but we believe a constant touch with nature is therapeutic. 5. NICE PLACES TO VISIT
There are many beautiful places to visit in Cameroon. Check out the Limbe Botanic garden, known to be the second oldest Botanical garden in Africa. Source There is down beach Limbe, where you can ride on horses and eat grilled fish fresh from the sea. 6. FOOTBALL See, we know nothing about football but at least we can smile sheepishly and nod in agreement when people appreciate our national football team for the things they do.
