Tro Tro Feat Gasmilla and Skob - Same One

Day 4

Adjusting to life in Asuansi was becoming easier as we all were settling into our new abode and spending more time with each other. Setting a routine for the remainder of our stay was also very helpful.

Our mornings consist of waking up at 6:30am doing morning chores including making breakfast for the group, washing dishes with buckets, washing clothes by hand, taking a bucket shower or morning exercise. Soon thereafter we leave around 8:30am to do our on site independent research.

As Colin exemplifies, we pack all necessities prior to departure ie shades, a hankerchief, sandals. (he's ready for anything)

We walk into town which is about a mile from where we stay and wait for a tro tro to scoop us up. Every village station has a Station Master who keeps tabs on how many tro tros pass throughout the day collecting tolls used for the betterment of the village. This man is quite the comedian, no one quite understands what he says but he always ends his sentences with a "yeeaaaaaaaaaaa man". 

Goats roam the streets like stray dogs. 

They are everywhereee.

After going to the District Offices to gain approval of our proposed research projects by the Deputy of Education, we headed back home. No driving rules are regulated in Ghana hence Meg and Jessie sharing the front seat of the taxi without a seatbelt, yes they are risk takers.

The weather is extremely fickle, you can never tell how the weather will play out despite the weather forecast. One minute you are blazing under the painful rays from the sun, and the next rain clouds appear from nowhere surprising one with a downpour. Luckily we were in our taxi when the rain started pounding down on the villages.

The tropical climate is perfect for the endless palm trees that bare delicious coconuts. I have yet to have one, but I definitely plan on it before I leave Ghana.

This afternoon we were graced with the presence of a few local kids who attend the primary school near the farm. They gladly stuck around and exchanged a few words in fante (the native language) and our english.

Once everyone returns in the late afternoon we settle down before our group dinner where we discuss the events in our days followed by more house chores. 

The remainder of the night is left up to us. We either chit chat, play games, make friendship bracelets or if we are in the mood to be studious, we continue the progress of our research.

The purpose of my research seek the importance of art educational programs both within the education system ranging from primary school to advanced education as well as within the Ghanaian community. I want to see how an art education can help the developmental learning growth of a student and also see how it is implemented within the communities.

So, for the past few days I've heard the word "tro tro" being tossed around and finally when yesterday I agreed hop a tro tro back to Kumasi, I figured it was time I asked about it. I learned that a tro tro is a shared van that I realized I've seen plenty of in Ghana.  So after my first day of research (which I will share more about tomorrow), I headed out of the school and got ready to board my first tro tro!  

So how many people can you fit in that van?

....  He has much to answer for.

Which normal, sane person would support Chelsea Football Club if given half the chance?  It is ridiculous and I blame Michael Essien completely.  Everywhere you go you see the blasted Chelsea flag - trotros, taxis, shop fronts, football jerseys etc. 

There are a whole gaggle of Ghanaians at Sunderland - why not support Gyan and co so fervently?

I think it is time for him to leave Chelsea for perhaps.......QPR!
