Hi All!
I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. Let me catch you up on my stay in Ghana.
1) On Thursday, My group and I visited Makola Market in Accra. That place is packed! I don’t think I understood the meaning of the word “crowded” until I visited there. It seemed like the market was pretty big too. There were so many people there buying and selling products, from food to shoes to fabric for clothing to nail polish to electronics. As a white person, I attracted a lot of attention, and people grabbed my arms right and left to get me to purchase their products. They also kept shouting “OBRUNI” at me to attract my attention.
When we decided to return to campus, we hopped in a tro tro, or a passenger mini-bus that seems like an over-sized van. The tro-tro wasn’t starting, so 4 men began pushing it from the back to jump start the engine. They pushed down a long street with about 30 or so people in the tro tro. Even with the pushing, the tro tro failed to start, so we all hopped on another one and made it back to campus safely.
