pictures... yay!

here are more pictures for your enjoyment. i guess its a benefit to wake up early and use the internet... its damn fast.


i uploaded this picture before, but i wanted to upload it again, when i have the other pictures attached.

if you can see the black container that is where the sap is being collected... they never clean those containers because it helps the fermentation process. and those containers were probably used to hold gas/oil before they turned it into palm wine containers. but whatever, it still taste good.

here is a picture of the sap fermenting. it looks pretty disgusting... and well, to tell you the truth, when you drink palm wine it pretty much looks the same. sometimes you find black things floating around... but whatever, it taste good... and it comes out of a tree, what do you expect and plus, everybody in the the club get tipsy.

so here is the distilling process. and that coil that is hanging from the two containers is where the vapers travel through... um, i think thats all.
so this is where they get the apeteshi. i think they have that grass looking thing filtering it because they use rain water in the black containers and in the water there is all sorts of bugs floating around... so i think that the grass filters out the bugs.

this is our most common way of transportation around ghana. these mini buses are amazing. they fit like around 14 people sometimes more. there is a driver and a mate. the mate sticks his head out the window saying the destination of the tro. um, they look in pretty bad shape, but thankfully none has broken down on me. and they drive long distances too... like i've taken 4 hour tro rides to places. its not comfortable, but i don't think much transportation in ghana is comfortable. so yep!

here is my living room... its pretty furnished... like i said, the goooood. and my lovely candle on the table for my candlelight dinners. thanks mom for sending me pictures... my home feel better now that i have pictures up.

here is what you see when you first enter my room... yep, nothing real special. and yes, cup of noodles. thanks mom. but you can actually get ramen here... its called indomie. its good. and rawmen kind of taste like potato chips when you close your eyes... so its very gooood.

this is my little split... so my bed is right next to my living room... but its a nice little divided space.

here is the museum that i was talking about that is inside the visitor center in ntonso. it needs some work, but overall its very nice.

another view of it.

here is a picture of the bride and the groom. if you look closely you can see their wedding cake... i really wanted a piece but they didn't cut it. i was quite sad about that... i wonder what wedding cakes in ghana taste like. but its pretty fancy huh with all the ribbons and fake flowers and champagne glasses.

here is the pure mayhem that was the wedding. there was like bazillion kids around dancing. i had no idea what the heck was going on, but just watching in amusement at how good these little kids could dance. sometimes their dancing would not be approved by an 8th grade supervisor at a dance in america.


okay, i'm tired and the internet is starting to get hot... so i guess thats all for now.

xoxo.
