Leaving Ghana 


I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone


My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shadow's heart is the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me.
'til then, I walk alone.

16th August 2006
Here I am again.  Alone in a hotel between placements.  All the friends I have made in Ghana have dropped off one by one and now it's only me.  

Tomorrow I head off on another adventure in Uganda, where I don't know a soul.  I know there is going to be somebody at the airport to meet me.  That's about it.

It's sad and cool at the same time.

When I left the Philippines I said:

[It] Was sad to go.

I was glad to be leaving sad though.  If I had left indifferent or angry then it would of meant that I hadn't had a great time here and made lots of friends. 

I am not leaving Ghana sad.  The experience was frustrating and I did stuff all good work.  I may as well of not been there for all the good I did.

I did make lots of good friends though.  I miss them already.

When I left the Philippines, I made a big long list of the things I missed.  I'm not going to bother to make such a page for my Ghanaian experience.


The thing I miss more than anything at the moment is the Philippines.  I just love the people and the place so much.  My heart aches when I think of it.

I can't help but see myself returning there sometime.  Maybe for a short time, maybe for a long time, but return I shall.
