Hotel Byblos Accra

today marks the end of my week. I woke up at 4:30 to run then had a break and then went to the hospital at 8:30. <br><br>The ward had mostly unconscious patients today. Since i missed last week, there was a complete turnover of patients, too since the last time i had been there. I can't be sure what everyone had, but it seemed like the only thing i heard much about was diabetes. It seems like the nurses don't keep track of diagnoses, just symptoms (when i asked ...

... We worked for a few hours and then ate the lunch that the family made for us. It was a little unfortunate while we were working because I felt like it wasn&#8217;t really productive. They only had 3 or 4 shovels so people were standing around a lot. We shoveled dirt and wheelbarrowed it to different areas of the house, and then leveled all the dirt. We also laid a few layers of blocks on the walls of the house. It was only the foundation we were ...

INFO ABOUT GETTING SETTLED IN GHANA (cash issues, internet, purchases, and transportation):<br><br>I am happy with out using internet, which is why I am doing about 10 blogs at once. I was really surprised at how easy it is to contact home. I bought a prepaid phone for GH¢40, and minutes cost 15 pesuwa (not sure about spelling, but that's about 10 cents) per minute to call the U.S. I buy about GH¢10 at a time, and have bought new minutes twice since I got here. Calling home is so ...

... from the camp to release a CD of a there music. We met with the musicians to discuss the project, and take a tour of their camp. At it's peak, over 40,000 refugees lived there (there was civil war in Liberia for 15 years). Meeting musicians in this camp was proof that people can always find ways to stay positive, even in the worst conditions. <br> After spending most of the day at the camp, we went to Big Milly's Backyard in Kokrobite. While I wasn't crazy about ...

... our way back to the hotel, we were stopped by the police this time. Once again, they wanted to check the papers to Sanga's vehicle, a black Toyota Four Runner with Burkina Faso plates. This time the guy was quick and he looked at every page and sent us on our way. This was more of a true check instead of an attempted shake down. We returned to the hotel exhausted and ready for showers and bed!

... now, is all. It&#8217;s worth it, though. It only cost me $5&#8230;&#8230;yeah, anywhere in Los Angeles would have cost me AT LEAST $60 to do the same hair-do. Everybody on the street was impressed with the work, and Aunty Adiza kept on denying that it was her who did my hair. I told her that she needs to own it! She needs to tell people that this is the kind of work she does! It&#8217;s a business, dangit, not a hobby! She said that if she becomes successful, then people will try ...

... It was exactly like the weddings in America. Exactly! I was disappointed. Anyway, I was getting tired, and so were Uncle and Alfred, so after Uncle got paid, he had a meeting with his troupe and we left. We went back to the compound and picked up my things, and were on our way to Uncle's house. If you ever come to Ghana and you choose to rent a car, get one with 4-wheel-drive and really good shock absorbers. The roads, even though most are paved, are like off-roading ...

... that Accra does have cinemas, but they only show Chinese martial arts films for some strange reason, th**efore, with much sadness I will have to wait until Australia to watch HSM3.<br><br>Television is mainly in English with a few African (*****ian) channels and a mixture of Am**ican and South African channels.<br><br>Oh and since it&#8217;s Halloween&#8230;<br><br>I haven&#8217;t seen any evidence of celebration, probably as, as I said, it is such a Christian country.

... when I arrived and a few doing cricket which you might think is a bit of a strange sport to be coaching in west Africa in fact it is because the kids don't really know what it is, all they really know is football and they don't really have the opportunity to do any other sports. The other sports projects I was tasked to establish was football, Volleyball and Athletics for our volunteers to come out and coach. The volleyball and athletics we established with probably the ...
