Highlights of the week
I have been accused of being biased towards Ghana and ghanaians, but what can I do? I feel happy here at least for now… In a way it’s weird, because when I came to Ghana I’ve met a couple of people, who have been in Ghana approximately five months. And I’ve heard A LOT of bad things about Ghana. So now I’m kinda waiting when will it hit me? For now, here are the highlights of my week:
1. Serbian saint day:) Every serbian family has a saint and one day in a year they celebrate the day of this saint. So this Wednesday was Stevan’s family’s saint’s day. Luckily for us this meant a wonderful dinner. The kind that you don’t get here that often. Stevan slaved in the kitchen for half a day and it was all gone in less than an hour. It’s nice to have some “normal” food from time to time in a very sweet family-like setting;)
2. Mangoes. The tree in our yard finally is giving us mangoes. You just go out, take one and eat:) I think this week I ate more mangoes than I’ve done in my entire life!:D We should schedule a trip to Smoothy’s for “Number 1”, right, Katrin?;)
3. Yesterday was quite a fun quiz night (after a horribly boring one last week). I’m sure the team name had something to do with it: “Center for kids that can’t read good and want to learn how to do other cool stuff too”:) I was lucky to write it 7 times;) Luck was really on our side at least twice yesterday:
1)After a movie round (for not locals – movie round is when they show a small clip from a movie and then ask questions about the things you were supposed to notice, like what color was the guy’s socks:)). One of the questions was: “How many times was the f*** word used in the clip?”. Dialogue:
Stevan: “write 563”
Me: “that’s too much” And I wrote 16, just because 56 or 63 seemed way too big numbers…
Stevan: “563 is closer than what you wrote”.
Guess what was the right answer? 16!!!!
2)Tequila round was that you had to write what disease the person in the picture has. One of them was Cybil Shepard and we didn’t know what to put to her, so Stevan wrote some bladder disorder or something like that. I said that it’s mean to write something like that:) You might have already guessed that was the right answer!:)
Moreover, we won the tequilla round!!! Got 18 diseases right out of 20. I was really surprised by that, though they accepted all answers to the diseases of “Michael Jackson” and “United nations” and they accepted “Scientology” as the disease of Tom Cruise:D
I guess this is not very funny for ppl, who were not there, so this post is more for me to remember:)
