... people know him. Th**efore, we just sat th**e and spoke with people, and as I was one of few white people to be th**e people actually sat down with us. During this long weekend, I saw one oth** white p**son in PH except from at the airport, and that was at campus the next day. The highlight of the evening was a transformator (high voltage thing) which was on fire, something that I would think would be potentially v**y dang**ous, but which didn't seem to both** anyone except me ...

... Anwesenden Saufkumpanen als Geschworene. Das Ergebnis war ein klar** Schuldspruch und als Strafe wurde eine Kiste Bi** festgesetzt, sofort zu organisi**en. Das Ganze war wirklich lustig. Eine zweite Anklage, weil ** auch seinen Hochzeitstag nicht mehr wusste, wurde fallengelassen und zur Kla**ung an die Ehefrau weit**gegeben. Ich weiss all**dings ohnehin nicht, ob ihr Hochzeitstag fu** sie so toll war. Die Ehe ist wohl, wie ...

... You can travel to Cam**oon for less than 15 pounds from Calabar and from Lagos, you can go to Ghana for 20 pounds or less so I may try to do a West African journey. I might sound strange when I return - I think I've picked up lots of *****ian phrases without realising! When I first came h**e I rememb** no-one could und**stand me and now, even when I meet new people, no-one has any problems which makes me think ...

... I' trying to do to the headmast** at school and today I realised that he has no idea what the project is actually about! So - v**y frustrating but probably good for me to learn to be a bit more patient.... Things are really moving on though - I will be submitting a proposal to the education authorities in Edinburgh by next Friday. My Auntie Glory (who got run ov** by a bus) is up and semi-about with crutches. I went to Creek Town with the oth** volunte**s last ...

... unhurt) and its driv** got up, did not so much as glance at the passeng** to check if they w**e ok, marched ov** to the taxi driv**, pulled him out and started throwing punches at him! Myself and Charlie, anoth** volunte**, decided to start Art classes at a Psychiatric Hospital in Calabar and do so ev**y Friday aft**noon. Last week we taught a drawing/painting class. It was v**y eye-opening for us. Before this, I had struggled ...

... She was only about 5 or 6 and didn't know wh**e she lived or wh**e she was - we think that she had been used a "home help" (this is basically a p**son who does ev**ything around the house for a family - washing, cooking, cleaning...). We took h** with us to work and we handed h** into the police on the way back. We all are hoping that a family comes forward to collect h**. If she doesn't get collected then it's likely that she'll go to a centre for people who need community ...

... placements are v**y int**esting and v**y enjoyable. I am working two schools h**e which couldn't be more diff**ent. Auntie Margaret High School a huge school with large grounds. It was set up as a charitable organisation for disadvantaged childrens. The oth** school, Flieyo Model, is basically a hut on a puddle! Th**e is no floor, no light, no resources and the children get sent home if they have not paid their fees. Caning is practised h**e still - I had to hide my ...

... the local peoples awareness of our presence. This week is the 10th anniv**sary of Ken saro-wiwa's execution and I have attended a memorial meeting of the Ogoni people. One of the opposition lead**s in the region is also going to trial today as well as more demonstrations for independence by seek**s of independence. So the potential for the increase in our workload is ev** present but hopefully will not reach fruition. Also did my first Steinman pin last week!!

... the valve to the African way (a valve recov**ed from of anoth** tube, a patch glued to the dissolution, a small wash**, all tight with a nut), the vulcaniz** patched 3 times the tube by the traditional method (20 minutes by patch to heat it with diesel). But that holds... I take back the road; it remains 150 Km until Calabar but it is 17h00 and I am going to drive by night. that fears. And rain falls... As soon as the night falls, I wait for a car with sidelights and working ...

... stupid that Tony might do. That's the second second Tony starts the car, going for a U-turn. One of the cops stands in front of the car, while anoth** one starts destroying the driv**-side rear-view mirror by hitting it with his machine gun. At this point, obviously both parties w**e getting v**y upset, and that's the moment I realised I was standing th**e with my colleague, two white guys in the middle of a crowd of sev**al thousands, the ...
