Samedi matin, je suis sortie pour le march\u00e9 avec ma s\u0153ur Raissa. D\u2019abord, nous sommes all\u00e9es \u00e0 la Poissonnerie Congelcam et apr\u00e8s, nous avons travers\u00e9 la rue pour acheter des plantains. Puis, nous avons march\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur du march\u00e9 pour acheter des assaisonnements et des condiments. Ensuite, nous sommes all\u00e9es au supermarch\u00e9 pour acheter des ingr\u00e9dients pour faire un g\u00e2teau. Finalement, nous avons achet\u00e9 des poulets vivants\u00a0<\/em>! C\u2019\u00e9tait une tr\u00e8s nouvelle exp\u00e9rience pour moi, parce que je n\u2019ai jamais achet\u00e9 un poulet vivant. Au contraire, ma s\u0153ur est tr\u00e8s habitu\u00e9e aux poulets vivants. Elle a tenu facilement les poulets par les pieds et elle a examin\u00e9 le contour de chaque poulet. Apr\u00e8s elle a choisi cinq poulets, nous les avons amen\u00e9 pour tuer et nettoyer. Quand nous sommes arriv\u00e9es chez nous, j\u2019ai aid\u00e9 Raissa \u00e0 couper les poulets en morceaux. Samedi apr\u00e8s midi, j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 Ariane et les autres filles pour prendre nos pagnes du 8 mars. Le soir, j\u2019ai pris le diner avec Mama et Papa Ngougo et nous avons mang\u00e9 le poisson que Raissa et moi avons achet\u00e9 \u00e0 Congelcam.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning, I went out to the market with my host sister Raissa. First we went to Congelcam Fishery where most Cameroonians buy their fish. Afterwards, we crossed the street to buy a bunch of plantains (literally a bunch, like right of the tree). Then, we walked into the market to buy seasonings and condiments. Next, we went to the market to buy ingredients to make a cake. Finally, we bought live chickens! It was quite an experience for me because I have never bought a live chicken, not to mention that I\u2019m also scared of birds. On the contrary, my host sister is very used to live chickens. She easily held the chickens upside down by their feet and examined the contour of each chicken. After she chose five chickens, we took them across the street to a shack where they killed and cleaned the chickens. When we got home, I helped Raissa cut the clean chicken into small pieces (like ones Americans would buy in the store). Saturday afternoon, I met up with Ariane and the other girls in my program to go pickup our outfits for the International Day of the Woman (March 8). In the evening, I had dinner with my host parents and we ate the fish Raissa and I had bought at Congelcam earlier that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
