Back in Amsterdam
Happy Birthday!
Monday, 01 December 2008
On 26 November 2008, Emma turned three. We started off her birthday with a festive breakfast (Elfi bought cake) on the beautiful terrace of the appartment in Limbe where we were staying with Sigrid and Gert-Jan, who are over on a visit from the Netherlands. Then, after opening some presents and making phone-calls to granny and opa & oma, we continued our holidays, grateful that we are spared the chaos of birthday-parties and handing out sweets in school for one more year. Nonetheless, a birthday is of course the ultimate time for looking back. So, what's new in Emma's life?

An African President
Wednesday, 05 November 2008
Yesterday, in front of Emma’s school, there was an addition to the usual array of people selling fish, masks, statuettes and bread. ‘Madam, are you interested in an Obama T-shirt?’ This morning, Symon’s driver Fabien came in with the biggest smile: ‘Sophie, did you see how I became the new president of the United States tonight?’ Most Cameroonians are happy: ‘one of them’ has become the most powerful man in the world.

Elfi the photographer
Wednesday, 05 November 2008
Over the summer, I bought second hand cameras for Elfi and Paul. Now, they both want to be photographers - Paul is already making some money on the side taking pictures of relatives and their kids. Elfi, I find, has a more artistic outlook on the art of photography. With a healthy sense of humour to boot.
