Note: If you don’t want to expose your kids to alcoholic beverages, this might not be the best video for your classroom . . . but because “Palm Wine” and “33 Beer” are both locally made in Cameroon and really are a big part of the culture, I decided to leave it in the video, especially since the people in the video are drinking responsibly and not abusing the substance.
Eating Like the Locals in the Streets of Yaounde. Join Dave and Tracey as they take a food tour throughout the city of Yaounde, eating everything they can find, and stopping at some of the most popular attractions in town.
