Nude sightings

The other day, I was in the taxi downtown Douala and a man wearing nothing below the waist just walks around the corner as normal as ever. I couldn't help but giggle at the sight of his penis flopping around. The following day, I got out of the taxi by my house to see a man walking towards me with the same situation going on downstairs. I compared nude sightings with the other volunteers and we can now confirm that yes, most Cameroonian men are circumcised, a rumor we were debating the other day relating to HIV/AIDS transmission. On a more serious note, I am going to ask my host mates about why there are men just walking around with no pants on and the cultural relevance.
