... to the real point of this story.<br>This week (and part of last week) is the inter-hall games. <br>There are 5 traditional halls (1 is all women, 1 is all men and the other 3 are coed) and they all play each other in a bunch of different sports. <br>My friend is playing handball (which I had never heard of before in my life)<br>It&#8217;s soccer rules but it&#8217;s played like a mix of basketball and ultimate Frisbee.<br>Interesting. <br>I have been ...

... and our fingers to read each patient's pulse; we check respiration by watching how many times their chest rises in a minute; and we take their temperature with the thermometer. <br><br>Then, we address the basic daily needs of certain patients. No one told me as we entered each room what specific ailments i would see. The first man we treated had his leg wrapped thick in gauze and cotton wrap. he sat on his bed, resting his foot in a bucket while we used another bucket ...

... castle (also known as the slave dungeons) and go on a canopy walk. Let's just say this didn&#8217;t work out. Nei left everyone with my roommate Brad, and we somehow borrowed a locals phone to call Nei. Once getting a hold of him we found out where he was and he talked to a taxi driver who was with us. After getting directions all 8 of us piled into a small taxi. Then in the middle of an intersection half of us had to jump out and get ...

... in a really good mood lately is the food here. A new stand opened across from the night market that only serves vegetarian food! they have salads, soups, rice, pasta, tofu kabobs and sandwiches (they actually have soy ice cream too)! theyve found a good niche in the market--serving vegetarian food in a country where vegetarianism is practically unheard of, but setting it up RIGHT across the street from the international student housing...geniuses ...

So, grandma farwell always asks how the eats are. Well, I will say this... First of all, I was not aware that I was such a picky eater. Eating a soup like substance with my hands? Not quite there yet. Eating goat? Definitely not there. (although I certainly might have without realizing it. If you ask me some of that 'beef' was a little on the chewy side) In Ghana you ...

... can (which I am really not liking, since I try not to eat fried food much), and always wash your hands.<br><br>After that, we went to lunch at a place on campus called the basement. They have mostly traditional food, and it was pretty good. Some people had banku, which is a little strange&#8230;but the red red is good. So is the chicken and rice. Jollof rice is really good too&#8212;its sort of like what we call ...

... newly erected construction buildings and dreaming up new expansion ideas he controls a fleet of trucks, productions centers and over 50 agents. He uses a decentralized model that ingeniously builds in the incentives needed to make it work.  Cash is king in Ghana and Suraj astutely uses it to motivate his sales agents, evangelists and retailers. Magically, raw materials end up where they need to be, so that eager hands can skillfully shape scrap sheet metal into Toyola coalpots. 

... dress. So she asked me if I&#8217;d like for her to give it to me? Wtf!?!?!? I was just saying I liked it, not that I needed it. Apparently, in Uncle&#8217;s family, gift giving is big. So we hung out some more, and right before we left, she brought the dress out and put it on me (on top of the clothing I was already wearing). It&#8217;s white with a gold design. It&#8217;s a top with wide sleeves, a wrap skirt, and a headdress. Then she brought out another dress!!! It ...

... beautiful wat**falls aft** visiting a monkey sanctuary. I can't tell you about the sanctuary as I did not go in but I am sure that Sarah will have something to say on it when he logs on lat** this aft**noon. The wat**fall was lovely, v**y cooling and refreshing and itb was great to be able to climb up behind it and sit th**e p**ched on the rock with the wat** cascading down in front of me before sliding down the slipp**y rocks to paddle in the small pools below. We camped at the wat ...

Nu ar jag i Accra igen och traffar min "gamla" kompisar Ane, Trude och Marianne, alla fran Norge. Resan hit gick bra men jag blev lite sen, ca 5 timmar eller sa. Man far inte ha brattom i detta land. Bussen var 3 timmar sen in till Kumasi och varje gang jag fragade svarade dom vanligt att -It will be here very soon. -How soon? -Very Very soon.
