Protea Hotel Port Harcourt

... they just sleep in one of the two rooms as they feel like it. So th**e are always people around and privacy is a virtue. Saturday we w**e tired and as it was scorching hot, we just stayed inside and watched movies until the sun has calmed down. We had some small trips around, to the riv**, some oil installations and some of Kelvin's friends before we went to play in the music video. Kelvin has promised to send me a copy when it is finished and I will post it on Facebook when I get it ...

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... to sponsor children = pay their school fees. Edinburgh and Calabar have so many more links than you would expect. For example, I didn't know that it was British missionaries who introduced Christianity to *****ia. Seeing as this (religion) is probably the main diff**ence between the two nations, it is ironic. Congrats to ev**yone who has passed tests and got job int**views - th**e seems to be lots of luck in the UK at the mo!

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... stamp to 1000 CFA to make it "showable" To 14h00 (5 hours of waiting on the bench of the reception), one tells to me that it is now the moment to buy a stamp to 50,000 CFA for the visa. To 15h15 (15 minutes before closing), I recov** the famous visa with as a bonus, the advice of journey of the Consul's secretary. I learn that the insurance NICON subscribed at PHC is not valid for Cam**oon (not part of the CEDEAO). For once I made a pap** before traveling! As it is too late to ...

... not even trying to get anything from us. We did not try any furth** contact by ourselvesn though, as we had had our share of emotions for the day. I eventually made my shopping in this same market, and got the end of the story: Tony had gone to hide, and he had sent the military guards to beat up the policemen and make them pay for the damage to the car. Normal situation, as they say... It is fortunate that in these moments of dang**, the ...
