Oh Ghana. What can I say about you - sometimes I love you and sometimes I just want to leave you, and so I am spending my last few hours in Ghana sort of sad that I will be leaving. Due to my unfortunately immigration issues, I will be leaving my placement in Ghana. However, the good news is that I am heading to East Africa! First, I will be heading to Nairobi, Kenya and then off to Tanzania to finish my placement.
But before I leave, I wanted to share some funny interactions/expressions that I have heard or picked up in Ghana.
- Your phone is misbehaving.
- You're a nice girl. I take you as my wife. Would you like that?
- I take you as my friend. Buy me water.
- I'm coming (however, I may not get there for another hour or so).
- We score you (my Ghanaian friends constantly telling me over the telephone in the US v. Ghana football match).
I will be coming back to Ghana in October for about a week before I head back to the US, and so I hope that this separation period will renew some Ghana love for me, and some of my love for Ghana. I will miss the friends that I have made here, but I hope to see them again before I leave.
In a few hours, the Black Stars will be taking the field against Uruguay, and I will be sporting my Ghanaian sweat wrist band in support of the best African team. Go Black Stars!!! And I will see you again Ghana in a few months :)
