Cameroon

 

Cameroon, officially the Republic of Cameroon is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Bonny, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Cameroon is home to more than 200 different linguistic groups. French and English are the official languages. The country is often referred to as "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity. Natural features include beaches, deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. The highest point is Mount Cameroon in the southwest Region of the country, and the largest cities are Douala, Yaoundé, and Garoua. After independence, the newly united nation joined the Commonwealth of Nations, although the vast majority of its territories had previously been a German colony and, after World War I, a French mandate. The country is well known for its native styles of music, particularly makossa and bikutsi, and for its successful national football team.

Last week a friend had asked if I had gotten a postcard from Chad or 

Central African Republic, so when I read CAR on the message I

thought it was a card my friend had arranged for me, but it turned out

to be from the only postcrosser from CAR who sends this Cameroonian card.

So thanks Horia, for sending those good vibes to me and to Esther 

for this beautiful people card. This is my 168th country and 28th African

nation.
