As you may know, there are a lot of Rastas in Ghana. But there are very few Jamaicans here (although Rita Marley is an exception to the rule).
Somehow one of our friends last semester found out about this little restaurant in Madina (10 mins North of campus) off the main road that is owned by a Jamaican Rasta named Jacob. His specialty is kick-ass vegetarian Jamaican dishes and drinks. It has to be our favourite place to eat and we're always craving his cooking. Anyone can go to an Indian, Lebanese or American restaurant in Osu, but Jamaican?
In other news, Rochelle, who has been here since the beginning last August, flew back home this evening. There was a big group hanging out in her room and a weird vibe in the air... like everyone wanted to see what it was like for someone to actually go home, especially a veteran like herself. She was a real cool cat and definitely latched on to the laidback Ghanaian lifestyle better than anyone. Ah well, I guess it all goes downhill from here.
One week left. Seven more sleeps. Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet...
