Akwaaba





















I'm here. I got in last Tuesday on January the 12th. For some reason I don't really feel like writing about alot that has been going on wedidthisandthatandthenwenttothemarketblahblah
so I'll put up some pictures instead.

"Let me remove my documents" The girls and I met Karim on the first night out at a club called Bywel. He was talking to Tanesha and was the only one not aggressively approaching the table a la "Samson" who was in search of his Delilah. Anyway after that night (which was $6 shots and with too many 'ladies of the night'), we ran into him Saturday night at Celsbridge after getting our braids in. Still getting used to spicy rice and fish, but, hey. He seems like cool people....and was the extra gentleman.....he hurried to clear out his backseat for us. lol.

"Lafa" A Ghanaian who imitates American swag, specifically all the rappers they see on TV out here. I'm still trying to get over the "Trading Places" and Pussycat Doll Video on replay at the Sunshine Cafe. Anyway they know a Black girl when they see one, and the other day at Kaneshie a group of guys said "Wat's uuup????" My crack up of the day. The little kids at Kaneshie were adorable though.

Artists' Alliance Gallery was the shit.

Saw alot of lizards at Labadi beach.

"Who wants a turkey?" Pookie is my son son lol....this nigga Chris Rock is hilarious. Can't believe I haven't seen New Jack City before, but glad I did. That and Ice T with his "I want to shoot you so bad, my dick is hard." extra. lol.

"I'mma put u to bed"- one of the professors has it on his ringtone....I feel like I got real intimate a little too soon. Anyway, the profs are cool really chill, I can't wait for "History of the Black Atlantic Slave Trade" with Professor Gilba....COOL RUNNERS!

Ok so FOOD is an important thing in my life (hence the title) sooo.....

Jollof rice and chicken is that shit.
Plaintains are good...but I didnt have to travel 18 hours on Emirates Airlines to rediscover that.
Mangosssssss thats all I have to say!!!!
