And how do I tell this time in this trip ?!?!?
What my eyes are seeing these days is beyond any imagination. Ghana is a wonderful place, people are quite friendly, honest and cheerful. The slow pace of their actions comes into conflict with the huge mess that is on the road. During the day there is no person who is outside his home to sell something, women, men and children, all carrying around excessive weight in the head passing between the machines to make their businesses. Small banks in each corner, you do everything in the street, you cook, they kill the chickens, combing, eating.
Music and preached everywhere, they are all very religious and is probably why there is crime and if someone dares to do something wrong the whole population turns against him.
The white people are something special for them and call you when you meet Bruno (white woman), and always asking you how you are, your name and where you're going. Children will kill you with laughter and greet all the time.
colors everywhere, ironically a place where death is commonplace of the day, is full of life.
Yesterday I spent the entire day in Kumasi and I had the good fortune to attend a wedding and a funeral, and more absurd, I liked most of the funeral! For this ceremony, everyone is dressed in a black cloth, are pulled together and polished to celebrate the death of dancing and singing.
My name is Abena Chaithirì here because I was born on Tuesday and the last child ..
After being two days in Accra with Renato and Elisa, as planned I reached Marion, a French student at the Fumesuà Forigo. She is now fully integrated, even speak the local language, the "Twi" and I think it's lucky for me because in this so everything is faster. To reach the city take the Tro - Tro that is the most funny I have ever made in my life, is a van with a 15in seats and wobbles a lot but does so in time to music. You can also make long journeys with the Tro - Tro, you put your luggage on the luggage rack, even bring us even live animals!
I have not started my job but it's okay, I tried a bit 'of literature here in the center of forestry research and finally I will go tomorrow in the forest of Bobiri.
of mosquitoes there are very few and only at night, if you're careful to respect certain rules of behavior, there is no danger. Ditto for intestinal bacteria, just not braggarts believing they can eat and drink anything and nothing happens.
Certainly not the cleanest place in the world but for what it gives you an emotional level you adapt to any situation.
I'm fine and I think that I will not have problems to return in January, but ...
A hug to everyone and if you come with me next time you begin to prepare, I assure you that it's worth it.
the way, here is that my English is improving, it's so nice to talk to people that the hamster in my head travels in 3000!
Kisses, kisses, kisses.
