AMUSING GHANAIAN THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOT USED TO AND FORGOTTON HOW WIERD THEY ARE:

- All the drinking water comes in little plastic bags that you have to pierce with your teeth to drink
- The shops have brilliant names
- They love God. Most shop names are religious and often the taxis have quotes from the bible or things like 'Big God' or 'Jesus Love' painted in the back windows
- The shops selling coffins display them on the street. Some are really swish.
- There are open sewers along the sides of every road
- All of the men wee in the sewers. Or bushes. They just stop in the middle of the road and wee.
- There is only one type of chair sold here. It is plastic and has a God symbol in the middle and it is everywhere.
- When children need to go to the loo they say "I need to go urinate"

will be updated when I remember to bring my journal with me to the internet xx
