You shower at least twice a day (some Ghanaians seriously shower about five times a day)<br><br>32. Your meal choices are rice. Yam. Chicken. Fish. Or soup and dough. And this doesn&#8217;t really bother you that much. <br><br>33. instead of saying ghana you prefer to use the phrase "this is GH baby"<br><br>

... which was really funny. Then he follows her direction, comes to an intersection where he has to turn left or right, stops and turns around and asks us which way to go. We were all laughing and scared out of our minds at the same time, and I finally go LEFT! and he turns left. Then he stops at some gas station and asks a guy, who gets in his taxi and leads us to the correct road. We follow that, but the guy still doesn't know where we're going. We ...

No rush&#8212;you will get the classes you need, you can come tomorrow, you can be late, etc. it&#8217;s all good.

Then we went back to his place to finish my lesson. I was feeling better, but I was still having trouble concentrating ...

... he came up to me and shook my hand and said I did a great job, along with a few other drummers and dancers. They were all amazing. So much good energy on and off stage. So we went back to our hang out spot and the dancers changed for the next piece. A couple of wedding guests came up to me and told me I did a great job and that they enjoyed watching me play (talk about an ego boost). One girl came up to me and looked angry. She asked me where I was staying, and when I told ...

... och sedan satt han dar tyst och bara stirrade pa mig. Till slut trottnade jag och tog upp min bok och borjade lasa och han satt kvar sakert 10 minuter innan han sa hej da och gick. Konstig kille.
