Is coming... is coming...

So, the photos that I mentioned...

As they say here in Ghana, they are coming.

I don't know when, but you can rest assured that they are coming. Certainly. Definitely.

Basically, I'm waiting for Ray's luggage to arrive (Ray came on Monday) which contains a wireless router. Once I have said router, I will be able to access the internet wirelessly and easily and will try to put stuff on here every day or so. At the moment it's a pain to connect to the net.

So, basically, I am lazy. But it's coming.


A few more events:

On Sunday a group of people travelling to the beach on our bus (people from the study group I'm on - I wasn't there) saw an out-of-control bus smash into several roadside sellers, killing them. Not good. On the way back, our bus kinda smashed into a canoe or something and a couple of people were hurt. All in all, not a great day. Everyone was pretty shaken, mainly because of the gore and shock, but also mainly because of the Ghanaian police officers' apparent lack of concern about the deaths. Sorry I can't give a better description, but I am tired. Last night, I woke up in my room unable to breathe - a mosquito coil had tipped over and had burnt a heap of cardboard, other mosquito coils and some of the lino on the floor. This meant that I had a room full of smoke at 1.30am with no-one else awake to offer me their bed in honour of my name. So my eyes and throat are a bit dodgy today.

It's not all bad news though, everything here is generally great. A few of us got stuck into khebabs and sausages bought from the roadside the other night. Freakin' wicked. We were probably eating cat or roadkill or something (or roadkill cat), but it was delicious. All the drumming and classes are going well. Kanchana and I are rocking and doing quite a bit of hardcore stuff in our special advanced class. Yeah man. Ray came on Monday and has been a delight, trying to marry me off to Ghanaian girls. I am in a constant state of terror

That's all for now. Photos and perhaps video or mp3s are coming.

Don't rob anyone.

The end.

Pathetic.

I bet you haven't even purchased an AK-47 and shot it wildly into the air. If I were there, I would do that constantly.

Those road side deaths sound bad. You are really not doing your mother's nerves any good. You could maybe lead with the kebab stuff, so that she forgets (at least for a second) that you are in a place where the average male life expectancy is negative.

Keep posting sissy boy.
