Arrival in Burkina

March 25th, I arrived in Burkina Faso, in the capital, Ouagadougou (Ouaga in short)!!! 

But!!!

An accident happened!!!

This is the third time to come to this country but I don’t know really, maybe I was so excited or something to get out of the plane as soon as possible when I arrived at the airport… I did a so stupid thing yes very unexpected thing.

I FORGOT MY CAMERA ON MY SEAT IN THR PLANE… !!!

I know how stupid I was…

But I don’t know why I did this… Now that none of other 11 volunteers rely on me even though I know this country more than them… which is very normal I guess !

So no photos with me that I took at the airport and at Sheraton Hotel in Paris where we stayed one night. Probably by now some Burkinabé have seen my photos or even deleted them and sold the camera… When I arrived at JOCV dormitory, I realized it and I asked JICA stuff to call Air France to look for it but it was too late. Next morning the company called and they found nothing.

I was going to take many cool photos with it next 2 years during my work and life in general! I was very shocked but nothing I can do now. In fact, it was completely my fault so I can’t complain about it. So now, I try not to think about it anymore and to manage with my video camera although its photo quality is not so great.
