I like to be in America!
OK by me in America!
Everything in America!
For a small fee in America....
I think that song each time I talk about my trip. The few times I've sung it out loud people look at me weird, they've never heard it before...Every time I mention to someone here that I'll be traveling to the States they all say, without fail, "Oh, ok, I'll be in your suitcase." If they are someone I don't know very well (like the vegetable seller at the market), they say "Ok, what are you bringing back for me?" Social interaction is funny in Africa. I think they are joking but I also know when I buy vegetables after I get back she's going to act offended and pout.
Things I'm looking forward to:
Seeing my Family again(!!!)
Being with my family when we go to the temple with my sister
Feeling a little chilly
Taking a long shower (I'll probably feel really guilty doing it)
Grilled cheese sandwiches on whole wheat bread
Cooking American food without seriously expensive ingredients (parmesan cheese is about $15-20 a lb.)
Hearing english on the radio
Annnnnd.....
Coming back to Ghana and being happy to be here!
