Akwaaba!

Greetings and welcome to my little labour of love documenting my life at the University of Ghana and my travels in West Africa and the British Isles from August of 2005 to May of 2006. Within are many stories, travel notes, photos, links and general musings on Ghanaian culture and the experience of a Canadian expat.

After a full year back home, I finally sat down and redesigned the blog and added dozens of new photos to add even more colour to my stories. If you can't see any, it's because I've exceeded my bandwith for the month. Sorry-oh...

If you're new to this blog, there is a general timeline for my travels: I explored the South of Ghana between August and November during my first semester and then on my break in December and January I traveled to Togo, Benin, the UK, Ireland, Burkina Faso and Mali. From February to May, I "settled" more or less in Accra with a few other trips, including to the North of Ghana in March.

Also, I recommend starting at the very beginning (a very good place to start) in August. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. You can send your questions, comments and criticisms to peaceloveunderstandingatgmaildotcom.
