2nd Mango Tree Ave. Accra, Ghana, 21-227-857
Phew!! What a whirlwind: In the last week Nick and I have practically pummelled our hinies into pulp as we rumbled all over Ghana, spending most of our time on buses. Yesterday we went all the way from Patriensa to Kpong (6 hours?) headed toward a bike workshop that was supposed to happen today, but when we called George we found out that a shipping container that Nick packed in Chicago FULL of BICYCLES will be here tomorrow! So we turned right around and come back to Accra that night. It is ...
Accra, Ghana catherinekuhnIt's an 18:15 arrival and it's dark. When you're within spitting distance of the equator, you get served up a daily dose of 12 hours daylight; 6am to 6pm and no negotiation either way. The sun is king here and there's no point arguing. You get up when it tells you and when it goes down you follow the insects to the nearest island of light; the neon archipelagos in the ocean of black. So arrival presents two problems; one, I don't know where I'm going, and two, I can't see where I'm going. For...
Accra, Ghana tim_buktu2... strange other men come from!
Anyway, I think it's time I got some sleep. It will be strange to be in another country in just over a week - to be anonymous again and not to speak to every second person. I think I will be waiting for eveyone to say hello, and maybe I'll be the odd one out - saying hello when it's entirely unnecessary. Time will tell. My next blog will probably be from outside Ghana, so until then, I hope everything's going well at home, and I await your updates eagerly!
... ian girlfriend happens to get pregnant right around the time he gets a lett** from his british girlfriend telling him that she will be moving to nig**ia to become his wife. The play was a comedy obviously and ended with the nig**ian giving birth and all three people deciding to live in the house togeth**.
This play was a lot bett** than the last one we saw. I think it mightve just been because it was easi** to und**stand (the oth** one ...
... a woman who has just had a stroke still finds the time to care for kids who aren’t even hers.
The next house we went to was a little bigger, probably the size of my bedroom at home but still.
Depressing.
Anyway, I am pretty sure the happiest man alive lived at this house.
He had twin daughters and a son who were not in school. (I didn’t understand this either because he looked at least 65)
He could not stop smiling.
He didn’t know much English at ...
... ended up being late. Like, 45 minutes late, lol.
So we had our lesson, ate some fufu (I got to pound it a bit). After my lesson, I cooked dinner. I made oshpelo (it’s a chicken and rice dish that my aunt in Israel taught me to make). I, of course, didn’t eat it, but it was fun to cook. My friends enjoyed it. At night, I got some things ready for Debbie. Pam and Debbie arrived this morning, so I had to make sure my room was clean and Debbie’s bed was cleared. I ...
... guy slap the other right across the face. I’m sure that people a mile away heard the slap. It was hard. Then they just went at it. Kwame told me to get up, so I got up. The guys started inching their way towards where we were standing, so Kwame pulled me aside onto the road. We just stood there and watched them fight. One guy had the other up against the wall, punching him in the stomach. Then the guy against the wall would punch the guy back in the stomach. One of them was screaming ...
Medie, Accra, Ghana neilis... Then we got ready to go and left the house. First we went to a school with Aunty Adiza and Aisha. They want to send Aisha there, so we went to check it out. It was nice. The rooms didn't have doors, just doorways. Other than that, the classrooms looked like American classrooms. I was so happy to step into the office. The first sign of air conditioning in Ghana! It was amazing, and I didn't want to leave, but I had to. So the taxi dropped Aunty and her daughter off ...
Medie, Accra, Ghana neilisI want to say thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, and to aunt susan & uncle bill for the donation! for some reason the shift key on this keyboard is selective, so please pardon my bad punctuation and capitalization!!! A few weeks ago I went to kumasi, which is home to the biggest open market in west africa. It was great, and overwhelming, and a bit smelly though I'm beginning to get used to that...if such a thing is possible. I bought a few things ...
