My Arrival to Accra

As the plane landed in Accra, everyone on the plane clapped with joy. This is something I had not witness before on other planes. When I entered the airport and walked toward baggage claim in hit me that I was really somewhere not like home. Once I got my baggage and walked out of the airport, I was able see the white sign with my name written in blue ink. I felt important like a celebrity for a second. As I was greeted and packed into a vehicle, I was able to see the city. First thing that came to mind was everyone looks like me! As I was transported to the KNUST Guest House, the view of the city was just a cultural shock. As I driven through the streets, I seen vendors walking between the cars on the very narrow streets selling anything you could think of. In the mist watching my surroundings, I notice the radio station is was in Twi, and I had no idea of what was being said. Throughout the rest of this day, I was able to explore the city somewhat more and adjust to my surroundings. Today, I learn to say hi, bye, doing fine, food, and bathroom in Twi. It my goal to be able to speak this language as time goes on. It been a great day and I am looking toward more great days....
