... new, like the oth** campuses I've been at. We sat down at a pub just outside campus around seven and started drinking some be**s with some of Kelvin's friends, and we had a good time, before Kelvin and I decided to stroll around campus looking for company. We sat down at a strategic place wh**e a lot of people passed and Kelvin started to work. Kelvin is a campus kid and he has been living th**e his whole life, as his fath** is a lectur**. Hence, he knows a lot of people, and even ...

... und sein Sohn ist letzte Woche 18 geworden. Nazi hat ihm die Geburtstagsparty geschenkt, nachdem JJ den Geburtstag seines Sohnes und auch seinen eigenen einen Tag vorh** leid** v**gessen hatte. Anlaesslich dieses "V**gehens" konnte ich dann etwas beiwohnen, was wohl ein bisschen sowas wie eine *****ianische Tradition ist. Es gab eine Art G**ichtsv**handlung, bei d** sich spontan Anwaelte und V**teidig** h**ausbildeten, mit ...

... farewell 'do' yest**day to say bye to work placements and host families. We organised an awards c**emony too (I won most enthusiatic volunte**!) which basically consisted of hand-made awards and cheesy speeches haha. This last week has vanished and i am struggling to believe that time can fly so quickly. Ev**ything is sorted for fundraising in Edinburgh - finally. I will definitely come back to *****ia in the next two ...

... of fundraising for the children. It's turning into a v**y exciting project - and I love doing it apart from having z**o free time compared to the oth** volunte**s. Trying to do anything h**e is vastly diff**ent from how it would be done in the UK - time management is non existent h**e eg. the headmast** has not turned up for work on time for a week and it is rare to start and finish anything on time - even formal meetings! I have spent the last three weeks explaining ...

How is ev**ything going in the UK at the mo? Life is, as usual, hectic but fantastic h**e in Calabar. I have so much to do - it feels a bit like I'm doing a diss**tation ov** again! I am continuing to have wi**d and wond**ful (though usually one or the oth**!) exp**iences h**e. I find the transportation/traffic system h**e unbelievable. Last week I saw a taxi drive into a motorbike. The bike crashed down (luckily the passeng ...

... formance haha..... Wednesday was an important day for me - I had to organise a day for the group which would somehow educate them on an issue prevalent in Calabar. I chose to present on the effects of pov**ty on *****ia's education system. Got all the team to teach the children at Flieyo Model (hut on a puddle). The day was v**y successful. It was v**y sad yest**day as, on the way to a work placement, we met this little girl called Happiness who had got lost on h** way to ...

... arm when you pass and try to force you to buy things from them). It is so funny h**e - I was in a taxi and a man got in, looked at me and declared "I am so happy to be sitting next to a white woman"!! I've had lots of marriage off**s so far (don't worry Mum & Dad - I've not accepted any haha). I've had to invent a husband to try to stop furth** questions about marriage. The names of people are wond**ful - Excellence, Patience, Marvellous, Treasure, Blessing, Favour. My ...

... ia). The workload, is as yet not by any means strenuous, having had only 5 patients thus far (1 malaria, 1 fracture femur, 1 infected ulc**, one traumatic amputation p**formed at anoth** hospital, and a little boy with an infected traumatic foot ulc**). I have ins**ted my first Steinman pin last week which has been the extent of the surgical procedure thus far. We are hoping to make an announcement on the local radio with a view to increasing our workload by ...

... to arrive to the Consulate before its weekly closing (of which I don't know the hour). It is that to travel without pap**. that takes some more time. It was without counting with a nail of less than 1 cm. The rear wheel is flat and I continue to drive slowly until the next village. It was stupid: the valve pulled itself (the tube being deflated, only the valve stops it from turning in the tire), and the nail plowed the room creating 2 oth** long cracks. Th**efore, in addition to ...

... in his eyes. Ok the classic drunk+ stoned = agressive + paranoiac. That's Tony's business, and I bett** shut up, so I just wait with my colleague, 1m from the car. That's the first second. Tony gets in the car and slams the door shut. That's a big adrenaline rush, and the brains starts to go real fast. Two options: get back in the car, and possibly get shot, caus these guys w**e not kidding, machine guns in hands. Or wait and see, staying away from ...
