A Week In Ghana - Still An Experience

Its been a week since i came into Ghana precisely KNUST. And it has been a worthwhile experience being into the campus. The campus is very big and beautiful too with so many gigiantic hostels like the Africa Hall, Unity Hall, Indece Hall etc with eight floors each housing both the male and female students. Also there is a hostel for foreign students called the "Guss" hostel where Nigerians are mostly housed. Even if i should spend one month in the campus, i will not be able to get used to the whole campus. Its really really big. Within this short period, i have been opportuned to attend mass on sunday at their Catholic Chaplaincy. One interesting thing about this was the fact that i was welcomed for worshipping at the chaplaincy for the first time with around of applause by the great congregation. Ialso paid my taxi fare with the "peswes" for the first time. Going to the Ghana market for shopping was one thing i longed for and when i got there i discovered that there was nothing different from what obtains in Nigeria. Things were a little bit on the high side in Ghana than Nigeria. But it was all about being adventurous - knowing what happens in another country apart from yours. Buying with the "cedis" was a difficult job for me except for the help of a friend that escorted me to the market.
