All my roads since 2007 have led to Africa. I'm finally back and this time it's GHANA.
I went to live closer to the equator to see if the paths I have chosen do not lead me to a dead end. For the question isn't what good have I done, the question is what good can I still do and what good can I do now.
And that's what I went to learn.

EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER. LEARN. DO.

Ghanaian English, lesson 2

I will escort you to the station, you should take a trotro there and alight at Shiashie. If somebody worries you on the trotro, don’t mind him.

That, I guess, is self-explanatory.

There is more to it, though. Bored. Bored here is used for both annoyed and bored which I think is pretty cool – it’s like killing two flies at once (as we say in Czech, I feel like I can do this since we’re having this little linguistic session here :-)).
