Just another WordPress.com site. You try chopping up a coconut with a machete. I get by with a little help from my friends →. May 27, 2011. You’re probably all sick of hearing about Adam from ISEP, but he wrote a post on his blog that I think you should read. It’s about the Night Market, where we all go to get food, toilet paper, and phone minutes :) Very informative, and it saves me the trouble of writing about it. I’m not lazy, just busy! You can find it on his blog here. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Being far away from home, in such a different place, has allowed me to distance myself from events happening at home. Sometimes I’m grateful for that, but sometimes I really want to be there.

Just another WordPress.com site. Studying abroad in Ghana: a summary. October 24, 2011. A week after I got home from Ghana, I wrote a post about all the differences and similarities I saw between Ghana and America. It was mostly a complaint. I want to keep that one to myself and post something else instead. Now that I’ve been home for almost five months, I can be much more positive about my native country. Here’s the list of things America has going for it:. And I'm bringing my parasol. And then the wome...

Just another WordPress.com site. Studying abroad in Ghana: a summary →. I get by with a little help from my friends. May 27, 2011. Throughout the semester I’ve been writing down things people say that I think are memorable. Since most people are leaving for home today, tomorrow, or Sunday, here are some quotes from my friends in Ghana. They illustrate life here pretty well :). I’ve been trying to instigate the five-second rule in Ghana, but nobody likes it! Katie Hughes to Evan Trout. Ok let me translate...

When I first got here, I was really surprised to see people wielding machetes. Everywhere. They’re just so useful! And here they’re used for two main things: eating coconuts and doing yard work. The machete is first used to chop off edges of the coconut’s outer shell to give it a shape that’s stackable and won’t roll away. Scooping up that coconut.

One week from today, I will leave Accra, strapped into a metal paper towel tube to go hurtling across the Atlantic towards Dallas, Texas. Delta Airlines better be equipped to handle my hysteria. Eating sweet, sugary pineapple til my lips bleed from the acid. Buying sachet water (10 pesewas each) through the window of a trotro. Gigantic grou...
