I hope we will get to it soon.
The other places were not that dangerous when we actually went there

I think that you would be fine as long as you planned adequately in advance and were sensible when you were there.

Good that you got your visa in time. I didn't and had to bribe my way in.

I love the Deido neighborhood with its lively nightclubs. Hope you get to go. And try the anteater! It's a specialty of Douala and one of the best dishes I've ever eaten.

Bribed your way in?!

I think I would be struck from the roll of I had done that! The DLA - CDG flight was horrible ha. Didn't try anteater but had some fermented fish, crocodile and porcupine. We might have been in Deido - I'll have to check where a specific bar we went to was.
