Random Post: Ghana's Black Friday

A week from now is black Friday in the United States, a day where shops, now the online ones especially, go crazy with sales. People back here have probably already contacted their folks and friends abroad, so they can snag them a cool deal. Others couldn't care less really, and probably don't even know that black Friday exists. Others still, and admittedly me included, watch from afar, wondering why such a thing doesn't exist here. Well, as a matter of fact it did, still does even, and it was awesome. What am I talking about? Ghana's Trade Fair.

Random Post: Troski Tale

Today I was heading home from work, in a troski, when something unexpected happened. For those of you wondering, troski, or trotro, is Ghana's (questionable) version of a public transport system, and the stem of many good stories. I remember one time when I took a trotro somewhere, and the mate (conductor) miscalculated the change he gave to a lady passenger. This made her so mad she told the driver to stop the bus, so she could fight the mate. Funny thing is, if I had to bet, I'd have bet on the woman winning that fight - she looked mean as hell.
