Cameroon is also called 'miniature in africa' because of the diversity of terrains, climate and people groups. desert, Highlands, mountains, jungles and coastal terrains...(a.k.a. i'm really excited about exploring!) ...also, approximately 240 languages are spoken in the country. luckily English and french are included in the official languages!

there's history of a Portuguese presence in Cameroon as well. somewhere back in the 1500s those guys went over to visit and probably took things that weren't theirs, including people. good to know my ancestors left a mark for me.

i'm not going to pretend like i know a lot about the country...and i hesitate to cite everything suggested by www.cia.gov or wikipedia...so i guess i'll have to learn when i get there. just thought i'd host what little info i know...
