I just wanna go home

I've been living full-time in Cotonou for a year and a half. I like this city, and I am grateful for the extraordinary encounters I have been able to have there. But right now, I just wanna go home.

I've stayed in several places at different times in my life (well, that's a bit old-fashioned ????). But this is where I feel the least at home. I still haven't gotten used to what I consider the "coldness" of Cotonou and the people who live there.

I feel constantly scrutinized, observed. Of course this is only temporary. I really hope it won't last.
