Consultation came in for about 150.000 Cedis, that is approximately 18 Dollars, maybe 13 Euros. The drugs were about the same amount. Last time, when I came down with Malaria, I had to spend about 1.5 Million Cedis. 130 Euros for three days in hospital, food, drugs and 24-7 care. Still, Malaria is the number one killer in.

The ladybug man (Marienkäfermann). The ladybug man’s real name was Wolfgang, a plain German name without any hint of adventure. But an adventure, he had been through. He had just come back from. The ladybug man had worked in. What brought him to. The bank had invested millions into a granite pit. Three years had passed ...

I’m going to see Rawlings, J.J.Rawlings. I guess the name doesn’t mean much to most of you, but than most of you never lived under a military regime unchecked by any legal or civil restrains. Did, a few times, and longest under Rawlings. And what do I ask? Does it even make sense to talk with him? Maybe he would just kee...

http://thilok.blogspot.com/2007/10/is-there-any-sense-in-all-of-this.html

The world according to me. Greetings from Accra. I will try to post pictures and stories I come upon while stumbling through this strange and beautiful world. Wednesday, October 03, 2007.
