It's about 3km from the Baptist Centre to City Chemist - the main intersection in Bamenda. The way to travel is by Taxi. I just go the the corner and stand there. A taxi will come by - I say "City Chemist" or "Main Market" and he either opens the door or drives away without comment depending on where he is going. He will keep picking up passengers along the way until he is full; which means 4 in the back and two in the front (beside himself). Most people have bags or babies or both, so its quite cosy and very friendly. The taxis are almost all Toyota Corollas - most over 20 years old. Duck tape is an important feature of most.
