Locked out
Hello folks,
I have an "anecdote" that I wanted to share with you. Since a week the locker of my door does not work properly as we turned two keys (one out and one in). Therefore, the locker has been damaged. I have called the agency to come and fix it but nobody came. Yesterday I have called the lady again she was like " I have sent someone who will come during the day". Ok I though that the person will do the work during day time so after work I went home. I put my key in the locker but I could not turn it, I have tried several times nothing then one of my neighbour helped me same scenario. I figured that the locker was totally broken and could not turn anymore. I kept my self-control, I left went to capoiera enjoyed it and came home. I do not know why but I though it would probably be easier after capoiera! Same story could not opened it . I called the guardian to help same same and same again NO WAY the door was not moving.
It was something like 8.30 pm meaning no shops open. Finally we found a woodsman to help me. He came with his material and managed after 40 min to broke the armored door. I realised that I was well protected, it would have been difficult for a robber to broke into my house. Which is a very good thing. I was lucky to have another upper locker to be able to lock the door and go to bed without any fear. What a story!!!! I have almost slept outside! No in the worst case I could have slept at some friends, I am sure they would have welcomed me with a big smile ;)
I am glad that it happened on monday evening at a reasonable time and not after a night out on sunday at 3 am.
Everything went back into order. The agency is supposed to send a guy this morning to replace the whole locker hopefully, they'll do it this time......To be continued.....
Nice day
Lots of hugs

I am back!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Soooooooory for such a long silence.
I hope you are all doing fine. I am ok too.
I have moved in a new appart with a friend of mine, Laura. She is a british girl also working here for the mission. The appartment is very nice with two bed rooms, large living room and a terrase. We are living in a residence where there are a swimming pool and a tennis court! Believe me or not but since I moved in I have NEVER EVER been to the swimmimg pool!!!! Shame on me. Anyway it is a very nice complex in the distict called 2 Plateaux in Abidjan. The area is lively with shops and restaurants near by and very close to my capoiera club yay!
Apart from that I have been sailing on WE with friends. One of my friend has a Catamaran so we often go on the Laguna on sundays.
I still do not know when excatly i will come in Europe probably sometime in April/May.
I will post pict of the new flat very soon.
Lots of hugs
