I like pepper soup, but please, no goatmeat ! my granny made me taste it
and I tried it once more in Obudu... no thanks !
In fact it's very tasty, but taste lasts too long...

10,000 Naira it's OK for a queen size bed !

Good night !

Discovering Watt market, in Calabar

Little catering this morning ?

Woah, feeling vegetarian today...
(must be antelope meat)

Well, not exactly ready to cook...

Some grasscutter ? can't eat this if you already saw one alive, too cute
(but I didn't when I taste them - it was good!)
This highly priced bush meat is considered as a delicacy.

Ok, today it will be macrobiotic diet !

Yam is as common in Nigeria as potato in Europe

His nigerian name is adamwanga, which means Adamo's food,
but not the Adam you think

Periwinkle (thanks to Sol) is how these small marine snails are called.
They seem to be the local most common winkles

Food and Smiles at Calabar market

Unforgettable moments with adorable people

Speaking French with a lady from Benin

The armchair was there, in the corner

the children were around me

I just asked them to sit down

and they smiled at me

The girl with a yellow hat was smiling too

A charming guy proposing a ride on his bike

A handsome guy and a great byke indeed

Second hand books and some nice discoveries !
