Time For A Rest

... with people and livestock relegated to whatev** space they could find. DH is convinced that Africans have to be among the best in the world at space utilization- not a square inch goes vacant which is something to admire from a distance but not quite so wond**ful when you are about to become one of the piece parts that are to be stuffed aboard a vessel of questionable seaworthiness. As each ov**loaded truck made its run for freedom, the f**ry would dip dramatically to the ...

Kumasi: the second largest city in Ghana.

... and hold these two strings with your toes and move them back and forth (I think to pull more string forward? I think.)
And then there were 2 or 3 wooden blocks (depending on the design) that you had to push forwards and then there was another weaving piece that you used to make the design.
I had no idea what I was doing but the man tried to show me. I didn’t really retain a whole lot because it was kind of complicated but it was really interesting.
Real close to the Kente ...

Kwahu continued; the bloody bloody blood fest

... the yellow yolk showed when the eggs landed it meant that the woman had not confessed to the priestess all of the acts that she had committed.
If only the white part of the eggs showed up on the ground it meant that the woman had fully confessed to the priestess what she had done.
Fortunately only egg whites showed up. (I did not really want to see or experience what would have happened had the yolk shown up)
So after that came the animal sacrifices.

No title will effectively do this weekend justice.

... chief of Afetifi so he took us to his house.
The chief (not to be confused with chief) gave us the whole history of his house in Afetifi. The guy I cannot remember his name, but he was a big deal in Afetifi) who built it also built a university and a church in Afetifi. Both the university and the church were at the very highest point. We hiked up there and watched the sunset.
It was beautiful.
I am pretty sure the mountains were bigger than in California.

On the road again

... and make my farewell address to the group. Since I have purchased a cell phone for 40 cedi, I will be able to get some numbers from the group in case I need to contact them for any reason. I called David Azupogo, a contact given to me by Father Augustine Ayaga (whom I interviewed for my research), and he said he would pick me up from the STC station in Bolga tomorrow whenever I arrive. He told me he would make all the accommodation ...

Patrick from Ghana has a kiosk made entirely out of sandals found on the beaches of Accra. Charlie and Rex are int**viewing the people in Kumasi who have homes that are completely painted red with the Vodafone logo on them. Representatives of Vodafone apparently approach proprietors ...

Oh, the places you'll go...

... of angry people disembarked. I couldn't discern which language they were speaking but it was probably Ewe and they proceeded to yell at any STC employee they could find. Not too much later, they rallied in the parking lot area, carrying benches from the waiting area into the parking lot and tried to block a certain bus from moving anywhere. With a loud crunch, the wooden bench broke apart as the bus ran it over so it could go into the ...

... sufficient so we could continue. At the first police check they asked Sanga for the car’s papers and then his international driver’s license. Sanga shows the police officer his Canadian driver’s license and that seems to be enough. At the next stop the police officer asks for the same thing but does not accept his Canadian license as the international one. He asks Sanga to come with him and wants Sanga to go back to the car and ...

Jag kostade pa mig en sekunds formuleringstid innan jag sa att sjalvklart ska man inte sla barn. Jag berattade ocksa att det var forbjudet i mitt land att sla sina barn och dom blev helt forbryllade. Pastorn fragade da hur fungerade detta eftersom det star i bibeln att man far sla sina barn. Jag sa som det var att jag har ingen aning ...
