Overspeeding Kills!
Ok so today My aunt decided to take me and my cousins (her children) to the town they used to live in before they moved to Britain, but first we were going to spend a night in Accra. Since we couldn’t all fit in one car, my aunt and I took a tro-tro (a small 12 passenger van with no seatbelts). My aunt and I sat in the front seat. I sat right next to the drive becuase 3 people can sit up...
It's Easy Being Green in Ghana
First of all, as I sit here. Two men to my left, are making a fake id with a laminator… anyways… I’m finding it very easy to be an environmentalist here in Ghana. I definitely consume less water. I mean we use a bucket of water to bathe, once that bucket of water is done, you’re done. No more just standing (or sleeping standing up… not like I’ve ever done...
An English Lesson
So I’m here in Ghana with my cousins who are from England and I have come to learn that English English has more words than American English becuase they understand everything I say but most of the times I have no idea about some of the phrases and words they use.
For example, they taught me different “skanks” which are different dances (or “donces” as they say) that...
So This is How This is Ghana Go
Hey everyone,
I figured it would be a pretty good idea to keep everyone updated of my travels by posting to my tumblr blog. However, I dodn’t have daily internet access, I have to go to an internet cafe, but I do write everyday, so I’ll just post date my entries with the date that I originally wrote them, so don’t get confused, alright :)
I anticipate having a great time and...
It's Like a Whole Different Esi
So today I arrived in Ghana. The flight was pretty nice. We took a direct flight from the US on Delta, so no 7 hour layover in Amsterdam yay! At the airport we saw a few characters. I saw my first cross-dresser which was an interesting experience. He was an older guy with a full beard who was wearing a woman’s blouse, blazer and skirt along with stockings, but no heels. He also had a purse....

Still hasn't sunk in yet...
So a week from now I will be on a different continent and it still hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m not to surprised by my attitude though since that is usually my attitude towards life. As I tell my friends, I just float above everything and never really immerse myself in what is actually happening, maybe to protect myself, who knows? For example, I still forget that I actually did a Triathlon...
OMG super embarrassing
Hi all (or the 0 ppl who follow this haha)
So on Tuesday I hung out with my friend Ruthie and we went to a cute boutique in DC where she decided to try on this pants so I waited outside the dressing room while we continued to talk. After a while a lady waked out wearing sunglasses and she had a similar haircut to Ruthie. Thinking that it was Ruthie, but confused as to how she was trying on pants...
