As promised, on a more boring day:
- Religion and how big it is in Ghana
- Girls' hair - it's all a fake
- Football and Black Stars
Religion. Well when I found out that Ghana is a very religous country I actually didn't expect it to be THAT religiuos... Everybody here goes to church. And you can choose from a huge variaty - we've got all the religions possible: most of them are catholic (I didn't know catholics had so many different "branches"), some muslims, Jehova witness', seven Aposthels or something similar ETC.ETC.
Meeting some Ghanaian person usually sounds something similar:
- Hi, what is your name?
- Where are you from?
- Which church do you go to? ...
Ok, I am exagerating a little bit, but the subject comes up in the first conversation. Guys instead of inviting a girl to a cinema, dinner or something similar - invite to go to church together:) This is really true:) One of my Nigerian friends went for "a singles breakfast" to the church, where they had "sessions" on young leadership, some sort of goal setting, how to find that special one or something similar. And he spent HALF of the day there (from 8 to around 14...). I'm not suggesting anything, I just find it very very interesting...
The funny side of this religious country is that all those small business' usually have something to do with God - for egzample - "God is great fast food", "Jesus hair salon" etc. I'll take some pictures of these;) you really have to see this:)
*****************************************************
One thing that I have to say I am shocked to find out is that almost all obibini girls have fake hair!!! Really almost all... they use "extensions" to do all sorts of "haircuts". If you see a girl with nice hair longer than up to her shoulders - you know it's fake - it just doesn't grow like that. And almost all of those holiwood and pop stars - it's not their hair... I cannot believe it - IT IS ALL FAKE...
****************************************************
Football is really big here:) Ghana team is called the Black Stars. Before the match with Brazil you could see all people wearing their flag somehow - tshirts, whistles on the neck, "jewelry", scarfs etc. All - young and old, men and women - were showing their support for Black Stars:) It's really nice to see:) And even when they lost - everybody celebrated as if they had won:) there were people everywhere just happy, shouting, whistling... I wonder what would have happen if they had won:D
Just a short notice - I'm very happy that Italy won against Germany 2:0:D I hope to see France playing agains Italy and I would bet for France to win:p

First of all- congratulations on having a real hair:)))
Second of all, if you write someday that you went to the church- we'll get suspicious:)

HeyHey!!
I like everything that is written on the blog, it's very interesting!
I just saw that you posted a comment on my blog,just at the moment when I was going to post a new article (that I wrote last night). I hope you are still enjoying yourself there, taking great pictures.. I would have liked to take a glance on your photo website but the Internet address has been censored by Internet services in S.A. Funny, isn't it? Have a good weekend !

Oh, I'll definately go to church:) From what I hear it's very different than in Lithuania. One of the previous MC members is going to a church called "charismatic", which is very close to AIESEC (that gives some ideas...): first hour they dance and sing and it's lot's of fun and then they have a priest talk like our sessions - even with ppt!!!:) Should be interesting;)
woooooooooooow
Impressive!!!
On one hand I hope you are having interesting time in Ghana, on the other, I like your writings "on the more boring days", so I am confused on what I want :P
Joking ;)
Just enjoy your stay as much as possile!!!
