VACATION! !
is now for the first time by 15 January relaxed. Soon it is in the Green Turtle Lodge, where I will be many days and evenings with cocktails, wine and books on the beach and just the "stress" of recent weeks forgotten.
And again it is hard to believe how fast time flies. For over three months, I find myself here now. Since there is still some time for a little summary. The following are excerpts from my first official report to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
If I now remember the time shortly before my departure, I come now to my already naive. Were my associations of Ghana but rather a flat rate of "developing country" reduced, although of course I always tried to differentiate the whole thing. Since we are always caught in the fast generalize: Africa and the Thought of himself, sitting wrapped in a small hut in the wilderness by locals, drawing from a water fountain, etc.
But you can describe something so complex as life in an unknown country or hard to imagine before you have not experienced it myself. Accordingly, it is then relatively quickly disillusioned. Life here (at least from the perspective of the city as I have met so far) is busy, loud, busy and colorful and has little to do with any romanticized Africa stories that are familiar from adventure novels.
And even if it is here in part as the major problems with infrastructure, but has by standing at the roadside water vendors up to the head teacher or university professor here each its place and its strong role functioning. And then somehow rolled up and the road each day with on and off and somehow it is always there to where you would like to go, sometimes it just takes up his time. Ultimately, there are more or less all there is here too, but just in a slightly different way.
So, I'm assuming that I have on the beach is no way I'll get back to pictures or put them online. Would therefore I do so then on my return. I wish you in advance a Merry Christmas. I will definitely have;)
