Coming to school in another country can be a great opportunity to look forward to. we would think of the advantage we seem to have over our counterparts back at home.
schooling in Benin Republic can be full of experiences. as as foreign student, crossing the border is the first phase of the numerous experiences. successfully crossed the border, you heave a sigh of relief from the stress and so on. as you move into the country, you are eager to know what the country has in store for you.
learning the french language is another experience, some desire to learn and others do not just want to learn at all. every student with their own choices; that is why it is a university. i fell in love with the sound of the french language from the mouths of the indigenes and although i do not really find it easy, it is one of my goals to learn to speak the language fluently before i graduate from the university.
then the currency.... oh my God!
more of the foreign life later......
cheerios...
