An injection of Ghanaian culture - Homowo Festival

I was invited to a Homowo Festival celebration yesterday. This is a celebration of abundant harvest after a famine that is celebrated annually by the Ga-Adangbe or Ga people of  Greater Accra every year in the month of August or September.

Root canals and power surges

My greatest fear is being in the middle of major surgery and having me re-gain consciousness on the operating table with my insides spilling out...Yes, I have clearly been watching too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy and House is great fodder for an already overactive imagination.

Being in the middle of a root canal procedure and having the power go off is also another of my many fears...and this is closer to reality for me given the unpredictability of Ghana's electricity supply.

Food lover or glutton?

It has been great, but I cannot contain my joy in returning to Ghana; back to exercise and eating healthily. Our last stop was Amsterdam and it has indeed confirmed my need to return home and start whipping this body into shape again. The fine line between loving one's food and simply gluttonous behaviour has been drawn, and I have walked it.
