I hope u have double panes windows, how do u get any sleep? How different from your village in guinea huh? U should try and set up your camera around your neck as a necklace and film your walk to work, I\'m sure its just as interesting. Love your editing skills btw, not sure I even know how to do that.

CAME ACROSS YOUR BLOG & I FOUND IT VERY SURPRISING THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE PORTUGAL OR ITS PEOPLE. CAN YOU PLEASE DIVULGE WHAT WAS IT YOU DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE COUNTRY, PEOPLE & LANGUAGE SINCE I'M CONSIDERING TRAVELLING THERE SOON.

Hello Samantha
Hi Samantha, You know i am of the old school and find it so hard to follow-up with all these new programs. Anyway, today i find myself reading some of your blogs. They are quite interesting. I should have tried this long ago, but as the saying goes, better late than never. I hope to continue reading all the blogs i can get to. I just finished Andrew's. Bonne Chance!! Yvonne

Friend of your dad's
Always good to read your comments related to your journey. Keep up the good work and positive attitude. The world needs more people like you. :) Peace Don

Guinea is not the USA
You went to their world, they did not come to your world. You were not invited, you volunteered to go there. When Norhtern Europeans were invading N. America and Iberians were invading Central and S. Americas people in Guinea, though not called that at that time, had been around with their system of living for many years. Slaving and French merchantilism follwed by Colonialization(invasion) to rape the resources for the greater glory of French nobility. When you return to the USA look at all the DVD flicks and see 99% are male oriented and never notice what is the story of male sports and very little of female sports. Go on line and notice all the porn sites where women are used for male bisual satisfaction andf sexual stimulation so that they can face relating sexually to their partners and perhaps Guinea is not so strange. I was going to vote for Hillary because she had these massive bags under her eyes that told me she was not a juice freak(alcohol) but an avid reader with eyes strained severely from her love of the written word. Relax and learn from your experiance. Accept those things you did not cause and have come to witness and in the end dowhat you can to make a difference no matter how small. By the way I am 62 years old, have one daughter, married with the same person for 42 years happily and am a male who has traveled in Africa residing in Colorado wishing I could spend more time in Africa where I find life meaningful. Me Ye Owurra(I am a male-Twi Akan language)

this is amazing. i knew you were watching (=

[Insert american exclamation word]
Sammy, I am so glad for you, for living your dream in Guinea. Keep it up!

Welcome to Guinea
Bonjour Sam, Upon my arrival to Conakry in 1963, I likewise experienced similar feelings. Upon being posted to Kissidougou, I really fell in love with Guinea and the Guineans. Forty years later, I had a chance to return to Kissidougou and search for Guinean families whom I had known in 1964. It was a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Please enjoy your stay in Guinea!
