So, I left Liberia yesterday... Which was quite sad, so I will not dwell on that!
What I will tell about is my re-experience of Accra. When going to the airport in MOnrovia, you drive out of town for about 35 minutes, through the bush, passing several small villages. That is it. The airport i basically placed in the middle of the bush, you see nothing but rainforrest and small villages when you land or take off, and when standing on the runway, all you see is trees.
The airport in Accra is in the middle of the city. So when flying in to land, you fly ver the cuity, and see all the lights, the roads and the hotels.
The airport in itself, well in MOnrovia, it is one building.. I am guessing half the size of the airport in Aalborg. The one in Accra is not that big, but it is absolutly bigger than the one in Monrovcia. and there are lot of lights, and other planes arund. And no UN planes or helicopters or trucks. It is quite strange walking the streets here. No UN vehicle is in sight, and I am used to them beeing every second car.
Everyting is different, and suddenly Ghana (Accra) doesn't really seem like developing country, or at least not in the same sence. Because it is deffenetly developing, all teh half finished buildings you see, well they are actually just that, buildings that are in the process of being build, but not yet finished. Which is quite a change from Monrovia. Where half the buildings are overgrown since they were being build, half way before the war, and have been left since then.
anyways it is qquite a difference.
Today is a sunday so everything is quiet, people are less pushy and I have only been approached 3 times today... Which is very low.I am sure it is because it is sunday, and election day, but the atmosphere is just very different here.
Uh year, no trouble yet, I saw a police convoy about an hour ago, but haven't heard of demonstrations or anything... But it is quite exiting...
ok, have 5 minutes left... so will finish thins and get i posted.
Happy new year to all
