Protea Hotel Accra

... etc--so i will tell you what i think of that when it happens.
(by the way...i will get pictures of everyone at the hospitalone of these days. i've gotten to be pretty close with Doris, our RN on ward A--since the nursing students left, she is the closest to my position and has taken me under her wing. she is easily my best friend at the hospital and, along with my roommate and her boyfriend frank, might be my favorite ghanaian ive met so far)

... He was hilarious. Then we went in a room for the head of the orphanage to talk to us. While she was talking to us, Daniel took my camera and walked around taking pictures of everything and everybody. He must’ve taken 60 pictures. I must admit that I was super worried he was going to drop my camera, but he was having soo much fun with his new electronic toy. Soon after we went to play with the 1 year olds. Most of them had dirty diapers on, some don’t have diapers, and ...

... endlessly about my confusions, and attending the occasional vacation session of the fast-track high court. The system here is based very closely upon the British system, and so is pretty similar to home, but they still use a lot of traditional terms here, including the Latin ones (!), and can also be pretty emotive in their submissions, referring to opposing parties' efforts as 'blatant attempts to pervert the course of justice' or something similar, like something out of an ...

Hi everyone and welcome to my travel blog! I've been in Ghana now for 2 days, and have finally managed to locate an internet cafe near my house. Since this keyboard requires all my energy to use, I'll jump right into it: When I left Tassie, there was sleet and hail, and what must have been at least the 30th straight day of rain. Everything has gotten progressively hotter since then.... I stopped in Perth for a few hours on the way - 18 degrees - and met up with Nan for a slightly ...

... makes orders take FOREVER. You will be the last to get your food if that’s what you order.

Afterwards, Callie and Gabby took us through town in Osu to Bywell, but no one was there so we got in a cab and went to a bar called Next Door in Medina. It was right on the beach, had loud music, and was really fun. They have live music some nights, so we plan on going back so we can listen to more local ...

A gust of warm, humid air greeted me as I stepped off the airplane. The words, 'Akwaaba' were splashed colorfully across the façade of the Accra Kotoka Airport terminal, welcoming passengers to Africa.  I took a deep breath, allowed myself a smile and got ready to face immigration. As it would turn out the past 48 hours of worrying proved unnecessary. I ...

... came over. She said that she has a brother in Tamale that I should marry. Yeah, marry. They’re trying to set me up. All the guys in Ghana want to marry white women so that they could move to America and bring their families along or send their families money. It’s the thing to do. I told her I’d meet her brother, and they all got so excited. Then I had to point out that I’m not promising anything. I’m just meeting him, and that’s it! They ...

... sun. It was also great because we w**e nev** hassled, stopped, grabbed or anything. Well, I was, but only because of the ongoing fasciunation with my tattoos (Sara, particularly the full arm job...lots of Ghanains know all about you and want to "come to Australia to see Sara and get tattoo"). I was grabbed, rubbed, scratched, questioned a million times. They find the full arm job fascinating (althjough some women did ask me why I had desecrated my body) and when i point out the animals ...

... jag blivit majsjuk men med lite diarretabletter sa funkar livet anda. Pa lordag aker jag tillbaka till Kumasi och Ofoase Kokoben och hoppas att resan hem gar lite snabbare an resan hit. Nu maste jag lagga om min hemrutt. Hade tankt aka fr Kumasi pa morgonen 4/4 med buss och sedan taxi till flygplatsen, flyget gar 7 pm men nu vagar jag inte gora det. Allt verkar kunna handa pa Ghanans vager. Det ar en enormt vagarbeta utanfor Accra som sabbar allt, det tar over en ...

... gibts aber erst mit dem vorlaeufigen amtlichen Endergebnis morgen.



Im Vorfeld gab es grosse Angst (und gibt es immer noch), ob die Wahlen frei und fair, und vor allem friedlich verlaufen werden. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass sich eigentlich niemand darum Sorgen gemacht haette (Ghana ist die Musterdemokratie Westafrikas), waere Kenia vor fast einem Jahr nach dessen Praesidentschaftschaftswahl nicht schier auseinandergefallen. Folglich waren die ...
