| 18th August 2009 DozzeeInGhana | Mobile phones - From: Observations and wonderings on life in Ghana... Hi Lesley! I would say its probably cheapest to keep your current mobile (but make sure it is unlocked so it can accept local SIM cards) and then buy a local SIM card. I just asked my friend how much we paid for it, she says 1 cedi which is less than 50pence, I thought it was a bit more, but either way its still cheap! Sending a text in Ghana costs less than 2pence (between Ghanaian SIM cards). Its much cheaper to call home to Britain from a Ghanaian SIM card than it is using a UK SIM over here. Mine doesn't work anyway! Hope that helps and you have a good trip! x |
| 15th August 2009 Dad | Tatas and girls clothes - From: Diary of the week... Hi Doz, just about every bus and lorry in Nepal were Tatas - I think it's an Indian make. Also when I spent that day in the street childrens' home, one of the boys was wearing a girls' top and I felt just like you did! |

| 1st August 2009 DozzeeInGhana | Hi Wendy - From: Observations and wonderings on life in Ghana... Hi Wendy, thanks for your message. Its nice to hear my blogs are helpful! Do you know if she will be in Accra? Its a shame I'm leaving on the 9th September otherwise we could have met up! I have met quite a few 17 year olds here with Projects Abroad, and even one 16 yr old, so i'm sure she'll be fine. If she wants to look at my photos she can add me on Facebook - Dorothy Appleyard. I can never manage to get that many up on here because its really slow!x |
| 1st August 2009 Wendy Milton | Thanks for the info! - From: Observations and wonderings on life in Ghana... My daughter Margo will be in Ghana with Projects Abroad from Sept. 21 for three months. She's only 17 so of course I will worry about her, although she traveled to Germany on her her own at 16. The whole family are really enjoying your blogs and the fact that you're preparing her for what to expect. Nothing has fazed her so far, and I think she has the same sense of humour as you, which I think will be a great way to handle the different conditions she'll be living under. She'll be working in an orphanage (not sure exactly where yet) and also in a hospital. She's from the west coast of Canada, so has a long way to travel to get there, but is looking forward to everything, including meeting other volunteers like you. Keep up the great blogs and sense of humour! Sincerely, Wendy Milton |

| 24th June 2009 DozzeeInGhana | Hi denise! - From: Bad kebab... Glad you had a good holiday and got to see Ephesus! What did you think of Cleopatra's pool at Pammukale? Its never nice going back to work after a good holiday! I think i'll get reverse culture shock when I come back home lol. The weather sounds the same as here, although a little hotter here, but it has been raining a bit too! Congrats on losing that after being on holiday! And its only half on overall. I haven't even been thinking about calories here lol. Missing you all too! Tell everyone I said hi from Ghana! x x x |
| 23rd June 2009 Denise Tipper | - From: Bad kebab... Hi Dorothy glad you have arrived safely and are enjoying your stay, it sounds amazing. I had a great holiday and visited Ephesus and Pamukale which was awesome. I am finding it hard to get back into the swing of things. The weather here is realy hot at the moment and forecast to get hotter 27 degrees on Friday. But then guess what-rain. I went to WW and lost 2.5 pound, how do you do that on holiday? I went again this week put 3 back on. Everyone at work says Hi- we all really miss you. Things are really busy at the moment and I am so tired-must be my age. Well I am ready for bed now so am signing off. take care and I look forward to reading your next update Denise |
