I Hate Drunk People

  • 11 March 2007

So, my earphones stopped working last week. It has happened before so I exchanged them. Well, the new ones had the same problem, only sooner. Never buy Philips-Nike earphones; they’re completely unreliable. I upgraded to the Shure E2c earphones. They’re pretty cool, but I could never use them for everyday...

USS JFK

I visited the USS John F. Kennedy on Saturday. “Big John,” as its called, is one of the last non-nuclear aircraft carriers to be decommissioned. It sailed into Boston as part of its farewell tour. I knew aircraft carriers were big, but I never knew how big. Big John can...

Tamale

So, I have pictures of Tamale posted. No video this time. Like the rest of Ghana, there is a could of dust over Tamale, that blocks the sun and blends in with any clouds that might be in the sky. Consequently, the temperature is quite nice, and I don’t have...

Mole National Park

On Saturday, I woke up early to head to Mole National Park. I was promised that I would see lions, tigers, and elephants, but I only saw elephants (3 of them), antelope, a few baboons, and wild hogs. I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. There really isn’t...

University of Development Studies

I spent the later half of last week and all of the weekend in Tamale, Ghana, a city to the north of Accra. I was the guest of the Vice Chancellor of the University of Development Studies (UDS). After we met in Accra on Wednesday, he was gracious enough to...
