Forgive me, but the Ashante people as a whole...

@#$%!......

How racist is that? What's sad is most non-Ashanti’s feel the same way in Ghana and the Ashanti's don't like anyone else.....

SO why do I say that? On top of all the violence I've already seen. I got to see two men fight each other while sitting on a tro riding to Kumasi yesterday. They even got themselves in the middle of the road one sitting on top of the other punching the other dude face. Damn human beings, why? why?

Not only that, but I have been emailing with the previous PCV at my site. I'm not crazy. I'm having the same problems he was and John did nothing for Jeff (the previous PCV) in terms of moving housing, etc. SO that means I have to put my foot down and say, look, move me. I must be moved. I will not work in Foase, you leave me there, I will travel like Jeff did and never be in the village. And if it comes to being Admin Separated or ETing, I think I will choose ETing (early termination is on my terms....I think an Admin sep would be worse on the record)

Good news? My good friend James (a Master's International PCV, from Mich Tech U) has invited me to do a Sex/Health Ed seminar with him for 4-5 days at his site in the Upper West Region. So I will be able to leave site, and still work :)

Also, I believe Erin posted some new pics. You can see me again :)

Woodcarving is going well. I've stopped learning, but I’m selling :) and I think I’ll be able to continue it after I leave Foase.....

SO that's that,

Kris
