"... Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you, they are unique manifestations of the human spirit." - Wade Davis

I've arrived and am settled in Ghana. I apologize to those of you who have been checking religiously to see if I've arrived safely and hope you received word from my family and friends that I've arrived. The flight was a bit crazy, the doctor had to get called over to me because my heart was racing, I could not catch my breath and couldn't feel my hands or lips. They gave me a little blue pill that knocked me out for two or three hours and I'm happy to say I was fine after that. We assumed it had something to do with my Malrone and the Gravol, I had taken before my flight left, therefore Gravol is not to be seen taken by me in the near future.
After my arrival in Ghana we stayed in Sega for a few days to get use to the culture and way of life. I definitely experienced my first challenge with culture shock upon arrival. The city was huge, the lights were endless. It was something you would see if you flew into Toronto and there were four of them side by side I feel. It's very spread out and like I said endless in both directions. We then piled 13 people and all of our bags(three months worth for everyone)into the trow trow. It was crazy and the driving was crazy. Honking and honking everywhere vehicles pulling up on each side of you with vendors running up to your car between movement. At this point it was late night here, 8 oclock-ish, the roads were dark and our driver was flying. It was really freeing to be honest. When we arrived in Sega we could not see much. The village was black and it was not until the morning we could really see and experience the village.
I would love to write more right now but we are currently sharing the Internet between four people. Keep your eyes open for my next update, it will be soon.
