... and it turned out it was an 'all white party' meaning that ev**yone should wear white, which the three of us actually did. We partied hard and went home around two, aft** which we watched some movies. Howev**, before we left his car decided not to start and it took Kelvin about half an hour to get it sorted out, as he needed to jump-start it. I just watched and laughed togeth** with a friend of Kelvin. The thing about Kelvin's place is that they are around five people living togeth ...

Anlaesslich dieses "V**gehens" konnte ich dann etwas beiwohnen, was wohl ein bisschen sowas wie eine *****ianische Tradition ist. Es gab eine Art G**ichtsv**handlung, bei d** sich spontan Anwaelte und V**teidig** h**ausbildeten, mit ...

... two women, on separate occasions, had to be taken out as they started screaming and spinning around. I met the main preach** "Papa" aft**wards which was an event in itself. His office was und**ground and was beautiful. I impressed him with my limited Efik language skills and he gave me two signed books which was a nice gesture - his name is Emmah Isong for any hardcore Christians among you who may know him? We had ...

Thanks to ev**yone who responded to my last email about the clothes - I'll sort out what I want in the next few days and will let you know when I can meet you in London. I look forward to seeing some of you in Decemb** - seems like forev** since I spoke to ev**yone.

... say why they drew what they did. Pet** said he drew his canoe as it was something the white man invented which was a wond**ful thing according to him. Ev**y oth** p**son said that they drew their chosen object because it was invented by the white man and was bett** than whatev** they had before this. It was honestly one of the strangest times I've had h**e - not least because most of the things w**e not actually invented by ...

It was half traditional Efik dancing (lots of should** rolling and shaking of hips - v**y funny watching the British males trying to do this!) and half English Country dancing (it was equally funny watching the *****ians trying to dance this). We think the Obong enjoyed it although I have a suspicion that he may have caught 40 winks during our ...

... to actually move along. The driv**s are mad and even worse than in Abuja - I've seen motorbikes drive right into taxis and just go off before the driv** has time to get out and shout at them! We "picked a bike" on Saturday (took a motorbike - public transport h**e is eith** a car taxi, a bus taxi or a motorbike taxi) and found ourselves going the wrong way down a busy highway... The locals have been v**y friendly towards us so far (apart from market hold**s who grab ...

But it is true that I have some res**ves. I use some. Monday 26/09: The visa, the visa, the visa,... The business is back: 08h30 to the consulate for this ****ing visa. I fill the demand in 10 minutes, I buy ...

... assessed the situation: the crowd went back to their occupations, and we called on the radio (!) for someone to come and get us. We waited for more than half an hour, the first few minutes being a little bit scary, as all the children would be pointo,g their fing**s and shouting "owibo! owibo!" to us. That's equivalent to shouting "nigg**s" in the rev**se situation. But then it was only the kids, so we w**e ok, and the people th**e minded their ...
