"Mostly she ate in the cafeteria and avoided cooking to her apartment because of the problem with bugs. There were harmless tiny ants which Karen says she got very adept at killing with one finger as they scurried across her desk. And then there were the big roaches that lived throughout the buildings. "If I came home late I'd want to close my eyes when I turned on the light so they'd scurry away.". There was electricity in the apartments, but it was at times unreliable, and candles were a common lighting fixture. In her spare time Karen would ride the bus system, a good system but extremely crowded, to wherever she wanted. She would go to the open air markets and hag- gle for souvenirs and presents, visit one of her several tailors to buy colorful materials and have a garment made, go to the beach, or visit other students. Since coming back to Canada Karen has had a tough time dealing with the concept of a price tag. The climate is tough to take too. "I always want to bargain now, and for a year I never paid taxes and now I've got to pay eight per cent on everything I buy," says Karen. "Here it seems so cold. Now I have a real problem with air condition. ing." Karen is also struck when she walks in- to a mall and sees stalls with multiple bins of junk food, and so much of everything. Abidjan was relatively wealthy, but there were some quarters which were less wealthy and more dirty. "There are boys to shine shoes all day, and women who sit on the side of the road selling oranges, and they can't earn much money but they do it all day, just to get some money." "Africa is much different that anything I've ever experienced," says Karen. While other western students stayed together in groups and did''t get to see inside the country and the culture. Karen took advan- tage of the exchange and with an open mind saw gained some insight into the lives of the people of the Cote d'Ivoire, "I liked it. I like living there. You can live more simply there. It's harder, but it's more natural, more comfortable, there. I'd like to live there, but I don't know how tc, go about it." Karen added that she plans to look into ways of finding work and mov- Mg to Africa. "It didn't bother me not having a fridge and stove, that's just the way it is over. there. It's amazing what you can get us- ed to if you accept it as the way."
