... to happen" was the only successful response... And there were various others that I haven't even bothered to include in this description. I simply can't comprehend the way these men would be treated if they acted like this on the street at home, and yet they see no problem with it here. They only ever do it to white women, and will openly admit this. They will also openly admit that it is all done the with aim of gaining a white wife (because, clearly, we're all very rich, prepared ...

... a ton of people got off (i think because they thought it was unsafe). but it was really funny cus this one old man just kept laughing the whole time. Int**sp**sed in his laught** w**e a few twi phrases. aft** ev**yone got offf and we laughed at them (and partially at ourselves for staying on) he started speaking in english---saying "don't speed, don't speed" to the driv**.

Before we started teaching, about 3 weeks or so ago, Kwame showed us around the village and introduced us to a bunch of people who wanted their kids to be involved in what Kwame was trying to create.
The first home we visited was a shack that was probably about half the size of my own, one person bedroom.
Half the size. If not smaller.

... I woke up slowly this morning, decided not to go running when my roommate left at 7 because my abs are still really sore from being sick a couple days ago. Instead, I got on the computer and read various news articles (and sent some to a couple people) and then did a little writing of my own afterwards. With how slow the internet was, and how slow of a reader I am, I got through about 5 articles between 8 and 11 am. Then I went to the kitchen with "the jungle" and ...

... my money here, and she said that they meant for me to go to the Barclay’s headquarters, which is just down the street, and see if a manager will approve my request. This time, I figured I’d change what I can here, and if the manager at the headquarters doesn’t approve my request at least I’ll still be able to get another $250 over there to make $500.

Brother Alfred wanted a recording of us playing together, so we sat outside his house and played. There’s a school nearby, and once we stopped playing, we noticed ...

... tired since I didn't nap, so I didn't have the energy to dance with Uncle. So I went with Alfred. We walked around, first to his place so he could change his shirt and then to a spot. There was a crazy drunk guy inside, so we went out back and he had the waitress bring us a table with a coupe of chairs. He ordered Star beer and I tried a bit. Not really my thing. My friend, Kevin, told me a lot about akpatese, and he and I have similar taste, so I had been wanting ...

Having the same contact from the start to minimise on miscommunication.
Seeing a civet
Eating small little mini teeny fish that taste like grilled cheese
Having everyone wave at you as you pass
