Nineth updateDid you manage to get through last update? I hope so. Anyway, this one - I promise - will be shorter. I have left Akonfudi and won't be back the next four weeks or so. Ben flew back to England Tuesday the 22nd but the Danish people I know here in Ghana won't fly home until the 31st January - after I leave for Tanzania. Programme no. 2As mentioned in last blog post, I held a speech at the programme on the 11th December. OCEP Ghana director, Bala, at...

Eighth update Well well well. It has certainly been a while since last update, so - I am warning you - this will be a looong one. You can always read it in parts… :) Hmm.. where to begin?

The excellent weekend is however turning worse at the momen...

Thursday I went to Cape Coast to get my visa extended (they are horrible in that office, but I managed to get it done in the end), and then I met up with Christian, Mia and Louise having a nice evening with rye bread and film watching :) Friday mor...

Fifth updateThis time not from Cape Coast… I am Takoradi (on Ghana's Westcoast) actually on my way home but had a quick stop here and found a very good internet café which gave me the opportunity to upload photos so my stay here has been extended some hours. I have been on an extended weekend with Ben.
