http://meggurrentz.blogspot.com/2009/09/welcome-to-kumasi.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. Sorry that I am really bad at keeping up with my blog, but oh my gosh, I think that I am in love with Kumasi. Although it is still a big city it is so much more laid back than Accra. They have paved roads and stop lights! Not to mention, my new home stay is basically a palace. I have a big room and my own bathroom with running water! Also I have some very attractive. Home stay brothers who are right around my age. My home stay mom is my Twi. Teacher at school and she is sooo.

A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home). 03 June, 2013. LJG's Gluten-Free ChiaFlax Bread. For all of those who suffer from a gluten intolerance or allergy, it can be incredibly difficult to find a loaf of gluten-free bread that doesn't taste like cardboard and doesn't cost $7 or more in the shop! So after months of trial and error, with input from friends and loved ones, here is a recipe that seems to turn out tasty each and every time and has only healthy, simple ingredients. Add olive oi...

Ghana Excursions: Oh Naamma- Two weeks in a village!
http://meggurrentz.blogspot.com/2009/10/oh-naamma-two-weeks-in-village.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Oh Naamma- Two weeks in a village! All I can say is yay. Our group was split into 3 groups and placed in different villages. I was in Naamma. The smallest of the three villages. It was absolutely fantastic! The people there were so welcoming and friendly! They loved having us there. They have about 500 people in the village, but it definitely. Seemed like a lot less than that. I again got to live in the chiefs house, although it was not nearly as glamorous. The institution has ...

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. So Kumasi really has been great, I have totally enjoyed being here. I figured out why the house that I have been staying in is so nice. turns out my host dad is the Chief of the city that we live. Its kinda a big deal. Chiefs are very respected, powerful people in their towns, and I have been living in his palace! And I know that I already said this, but they are sooo nice. Today they gave me a new dress, and it is beautiful! Its green and brown batik :) I love them! In the v...

Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Another really exciting thing that happened while we were up in Tamale was that Ghana won the Under 20 World Cup, against Brazil! Soccer, aka football for the rest of the world). It was a huge win! The party lasted for HOURS!

A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home): How to Take a Bucket Bath
http://lydia-goes-abroad.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-take-bucket-bath.html
A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home). 01 July, 2014. How to Take a Bucket Bath. Now, I know this is probably different for everyone and there is no right or wrong way of doing it, but I thought I'd write a little bit about what I've been taught about bucket baths because maybe it is useful or interesting and it isn't something that's talked about much! Sponge and mini-bucket of local soap with water added to it. If you are lucky enough to have a lime tree (citrus, not tilia spp.) in...

A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home). 19 June, 2011. I spent this past week exploring Melbourne, Victoria. I have to say, I absolutely loved it! Flagstaff Gardens at corner of La Trobe St and King St. I got to practice my Korean and eat Korean food (맛있는 돌솥 비빔밥을 먹었어요! Leaving Korean restaurant (one of many). And learned more about the kinds of exciting projects other linguists are working on. Whew! Walking in the city. I saw beautiful artwork, including some stunning work by. I got to ri...

A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home): April 2015
http://lydia-goes-abroad.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
A Chronicle of Lydia's Adventures (Abroad and At Home). 12 April, 2015. Back in February I was given 11 little corn plants from the farmers' market along with some beautiful little dwarf green beans. I planted these in an alternating zig-zag pattern in a spot that I realized only afterwards was not quite as sunny as I'd hoped, but all of the corn survived and only one of the beans didn't, so I think they're doing all right! 15 February, 2015. Heirloom variety of corn, Zea mays. Photo by Lydia Green.
