... it would have been impossible to find in the dark. DH is just happy to have temporary access to a bathroom that would not be mistaken for a toxic waste dump.
It turned out that delaying Lake Bosumtwi was a prudent decision as it was at the end of one of those patently bad African roads that nev** seem to get fixed. The primary intent of the lake visit was to recharge the batt**ies although since we w**e pretty much alone h**e (except for a Brit named Helen, Acie, or Rasta Girl ...

... s the whole weekend. Holler.)

So. The largest market in Western Africa.
Huge.
I tried to take adequate pictures but they still did not do it justice.
Everywhere you looked there were people. Some of the streets were so narrow because there were just people walking up and down them barely allowing space for cars.
It was crazy.

Then on Sunday when we were leaving Kumasi we were on the bus sitting in traffic when a marching band. A full fledged marching band ...

... a work of art only adds to the notion that science and art can coexist in harmony. Aft** all, we are in currently occupying a classroom in the College of Arts and Sciences no? These are some of the reoccurring topics of the conf**ence; how to uplift the Ghana's art market making it appeal to a broad** audience and not just tourists, can Ghanaians invest more meaning into art (such as activism), and how to provide artists with the education and resources ...

... since half of the people who pre-regist**ed didn’t come to the conf**ence and th**e was no way of knowing if I would show up or not. Great, I guess all those emails saying that I'm coming w**e useless. So they asked if I would like to present in 15 minutes because that might be the only available slot for the rest of the week. ****! So I hurried back to the hostel, put on a decent looking shirt, grabbed my comput** and hightailed it back to the classroom ...

... way. When we stopped she came up to the car and showed us the reading on the gun. How strange that was! Once again, Sanga talked us out of a unreal situation!!!

We got to Kumasi after dark and drove around quite a while before we found the hotel that Sanga had stayed at on his way down to pick us up. It was a very nice hotel, the best so far. We ate at the chicken shish-kabobs at the restaurant and crashed once again feeling quite exhausted.

The drive from Mole National Park to the city of Kumasi was via a nice waterfall swimming hole and the monkey Sanctury of Boabang Fiema. The monkey sanctuary was interesting. The local community have decided that they would protect the monkeys instead of hunting them. Its almost like they worship them, they even bury them when they are dead......A short walk for an hour or so with one of the local guides was great, lots of monkey photo opportunities.

... minuters stopp halvvags och sedan kisspaus nar mannen ville det. Dom stallde sig bara utanfor bussen och pinkade, toalett till oss andra fanns inte. Mannen star och pinkar overallt jamt och standigt. Jag var helt slut nar vi val kom hem. Kliniken i Kumasi pa mandagen som undrade fragande vad jag gjorde dar, jag hade ju redan fatt min medicin. Jag och forsakringsbolaget ville veta om det var malaria eller ej. Markligt tyckte lakaren. Jag fick lamna 2 droppar blod och fick besked att ...

... vara gifta med en man. Skilsmassa ar ok om mannen begar det men det finns inte manga anledningar som funkar sa att en kvinna kan begara skilsmassa. Misshandel mm ar inget anledning. Har anser mannen ocksa att det ar deras ratt att vara otrogna med manga och ofta och kvinnorna kan inte gora sa mycket at det. Att sla sin fru ar tydligen ocksa helt ok. Men det ar klart att om mannen tror att det racker med att dom pratar med sina barn nar dom har fyllt atta ar sa forklarar det en hel del.

... granda buraco mas por mais incrivel que pareca, nunca nenhum mosquito lhe descobriu), quarto so para mim, excepto aos fins-de-semana quando o Oswald vinha para dar as suas aulas e nos dias que o Lovans decidia ficar por la e usava a cama do Oswald. Senao, quarto sozinho pra sueu. Toda a gente altamente porreira, nao levei muito tempo para me sentir a vontade. Levei uma semana para memorizar os nomes da vasta maioria dos alunos que la estavam para o semestre de ...

... forth, so don't picture me as being in dire straits the whole time and please believe me when I tell you, even when I sleep outside in the (relative) cold, or when I don't have any food to eat (VERY rare), I haven't yet felt a dash of the hardships this people has to endure in their everyday struggle for their livelihoods and the pictures will prove you so. They treat foreigners with such special care that, at times, I almost feel uncomfortable accepting their ...
