... to give a little background): in biopsych this year we learned about spina bifida--a birth defect caused by some malformation of neural matter in the spine...basically it is when there isnt full closure of the neural tube before birth (the nerves encased by the bones of the spinal column)--so theres hyrocephalus (this is what we focused on in class--build up of Cerebrospinal fluidin the vesicles in the brain) which causes deformation/serious swelling ...

We made it to GHANA  ! ! ! They LOVE Obama here.  I can't even explain. I honestly am confused of what country I am in because half the stuff they sell at some of these stands is Obama gear. We took a cab to the market area. The people here are just as aggressive as Morocco, but much much nicer. Every single person is yelling at you to come look at their store... SISTER SISTER!! OVER HERE!! COME LOOK PLEASE YOU PROMISED!! FRIEND!! COME I HAVE GOOD PRICE GOOD PRICE!! IT’S NICE TO ...

... a lot of people call me that. I'm called that because I was born on a wednesday. <br>also, on the subject of cool ghanaians...a girl in one of my classes is going to come hang out here tomorrow, i think. She's been sitting with me in psych and i help her get all the notes (bc our prof moves really fast, but im a superstar so im able to keep up!) anyway, i dont remember her name. We met on the first day of class, and ever since then she comes to find me before class ...

... such thick kente cloth with how hot it was outside! i got so sunburned and sweat up a storm the whole time we were there (and i was just in a sundress).<br><br>After the festival, we went to have dinner at the house of the minister of tourism for ghana (i think that is her title). When we got there, mr. passah hadn't really been clear about what we were doing or where we were, so it felt a littlew uncomfortable. all i knew was that i saw a picture of a woman ...

We hope to spend the day at the beach but it is hard to plan as you really do not know what will happen. So we head into the city and as driving by see that that there is something happening at the cultural center and decide to see what is going on. After driving around for a bit trying to find a parking spot we finally got to the center. There were dancers dancing and people coming and going. It turns ...

... br>Then Uncle talked to me about my four husbands. He said that I am free to do what I want, and to choose who I want, and if he thinks I make a bad choice, he will let me know, but if I insist on being with someone he doesn&#8217;t approve of, he won&#8217;t get involved because it&#8217;s gotten him into trouble in the past. He said that there are going to be a lot of guys who will be interested in marrying me, and that I have to be careful. I told him about my trust ...

... the coast and into Benin.<br><br>Benin was pretty - great scen**y and lovely people. We drove up through Save and Parakou, and Sarah and I had a lovely date in a huge restaurant that we w**e the only people in. The staff of the hotel w**e watching TV when we walked in, and as soon as they had shown us to our seats off the wait** hurried to shortly re-appear in an ironed and collared white shirt!! V**y cool...ev**ything was brought on a tray and they ...

... took lots of photos (which I cannot presently upload) and settled in for some accidental luxury. 4) The next morning we headed to The Trust Hospital in Osu, a suburb of Accra, wh**e we have received some excellent care. We signed up, got our cards, paid our 15 Cede (equivalent to $15AUD) each and w**e in to see a Doctor (accompanied always by a nurse) withing 1 1/2 hours. From th**e, straight to the lab for the tests, and aft** a 48 hour wait back to get the results, see the doctor, and ...

... have seen Natalie's facial expressions.... I let you guess!! Anyway, we were really happy to finally reach Accra. It's so humid here. Very different to the dry heat in Burkina. Accra is another not so attractive African City (we now know we definitely prefer the countryside in Africa), where it's difficult to move without taking a taxi. I don't think town planners have pedestrians in mind n ...
