In front of our house is a small vegetable garden, where my family grows a few plants. Furthermore, We have two small Hünerställe. In one European are chickens that are let out, almost never. They told me that they are taking when they eat the dirt lying around. In the second chicken coop, African chicken, which accounts for nothing. The valves are almost always run around outside. Now and then they quarrel and chase each other around the house. If the dog is still interfering with the chaos is perfect. After such an action is the floor full of feathers and droppings. But since being swept every morning, is not that bad. To sweep the way, a bundle of branches of a plant is used. Depending on the use of the broom is put together or spread out. He is only 50 cm long, you have to bend down quite far already. At least one has thus a good morning exercise.
In my neighborhood, my neighborhood, is compared to the city center very quiet. It is a development area, are the numerous shells. Since in Ghana are almost no state-sponsored housing initiatives, to build it themselves, and indeed, in the truest sense of the word, piece by piece. At the beginning you buy first stone. If, again, a little money is available, you can build a small part of the foundation, etc. Thus, a design attracts usually over many years. For this reason, I suppose that in the 12 months that we will stay here not much will change. We will see ...
20 years ago was in this area, dense forest was untouched. By population growth and associated urban development, a lot of burning took place. Today there are only a few bushes and trees palmenatige, but they are not much bigger than I. So it is here quite clear.
To reach the city, you must pass a few narrow trails, let the many "house ruins" behind and finally comes to a slightly greater distance. This will take you pass the Unique Senior High School, in his students, I am already well known. I try always go by unnoticed, but what works almost never. After a bit of small talk can go on one again. The students have already accepted the fact that they get from me no phone number and I do not usually want to stay long with them. Only a few steps you have a wide view, down the road that leads to the center after Swedru. On this street, which paved the way, is relatively good, you have to take only the possibility of a taxi, or walk. bring the road to walk behind him, would take about three quarters of an hour, and in light of some very hot sun is already the cab comfortable. The taxi drivers here, you can also not compare with that in Germany. It is the normal means of transport for shorter rod and can rather be compared to bus travel. The price for a ride into town is 35 pesewas (22 cents). The taxis are almost all Asian small cars because they are much cheaper than European cars. Despite the narrow interior, driving in extreme cases up to 6 people - not the driver in the calculation. Buckle up is just not on, but not general practice.
While driving people constantly are sold or collected. If a person is standing on the roadside and the driver is treated as a potential passenger, he stretched out his hand and honk a few times. Will this person also ride really, it also raises his hand. If the taxi is actually full, it goes faster. The drivers are not afraid to overtake. Rather, they are constantly trying and often create a dangerous traffic situation. At least is when overtaking and honking. We can already see, a horn in a car is more important than a seat belt.
In the next blog post I tell you a little about life in the city.
