All of the sudden
I am 19! Wooohooo! We went to a bar called the Purple Roof on Friday evening to
celebrate my birthday and we had a lot of fun! We had planned on going on a overnight-trip to a hostel with a
private beach, but I ended up staying at home together with Katie who was nice
enough to keep me company and the new volunteer who arrived last night, Cat.
The fact that it was my birthday didn’t really matter to me, it was more
annoying to have to waste a whole weekend on being ill. I’m gonna be here for
the next 3 months though, so I guess I’ll have plenty of time.
I’ll talk a bit
more about the school and the work I’m going to do there later today, but for
now watch this video. You should especially pay attention to the lyrics.
This is a pretty
popular song here in Ghana. I mean, its okay, I guess some people do want a
strong African man. But if you’d reverse the roles, make it a song about a strong
white man, because white men are better and if it was released it in Europe,
wouldn’t there be a massive uproar? It would be banned and the creators would
be accused of racism and whatnot. That’s a double standard right there.
