Hey all!
Its nice, that so many people are reading my blog! I can't describe all what I've experienced since I left Accra! But it is soooo great here and I'm really happy! Everything is fine and I only have good experiences! So no worries at all!
I won't describe everything now, but just a few insights where I was and what I saw:
Trip with the other IAESTE-students: Monkey-Sanctuary: feeding monkeys by hand, dead monkeys are burried on a cemetery. Mole-nationalpark: Elephants 30m away from us, monkeys, antilopes, beautiful landscape, Crocodile-pond: live chicken were feed and I was sitting on a crocodile!!!, we crossed the border to Burkina Faso for a picture. Now I am still in Bolgatanga, a very nice city in the north of Ghana! I met some guys here who I know from Accra, so I am NOT alone Mama! Don't worry! The landscape here is sooo great, you can't believe that! Due to the raining season everything is green, no forest (Steppe beginnt), but a lot of single trees (Baobabs!!!) standing around... I've seen small villages (because there is no mass-tourism they show you around everywhere), I've climed half naked (only trousers) in some rocks to meet a care-taker in a shrine... very impressive! Animals are sacrificd and the shrine (in fact a kind of cave) takes the blood in order to help people what ever they come with (health, money,...). Beautiful sights from the rocks down to the whole Volta-Valley. Oh well, I can't help but being constantly amazed (from leo). And I've met so many nice and welcoming people here, some are rastafari and I guess I like their way of live :-) And I'm getting better in dealing with all the people (mostly guys) who want my number and who want to marry me!!!!!
2 days ago I went to a former slave-market which was unbelievable... how and why were and still are some people so cruel???
Tomorrow I guess I will leave the north and because Anne didn't feel very well, Anne and Malte didn't come up north so I will meet them finally somewhere in the south! My work is (as far as I understood and hope its true) set, which means I can finally start working when I come back to Accra, after meeting Anne and Malte...
Ok thats it for now, somehow pictures will come, as soon as I'm back in Accra I guess!
I hope, you can all enjoy your summer (how is the weather???). By the way, two days ago it started to rain in the afternoon and it was finally the first day (except from the bus with a too cold air-condition) that I didn't feel hot here :-)
Gaaaanz liebe Gruesse an alle!!! Und danke fuer eure Kommentare!
