why?

why is it like that?

always when am talking to people i dont know and am telling them that i was 1 year in ghana, they ask me how it was.

my first answer (cause its the main thing) is, yes, it was really nice and this and that…

then they are looking weird at me…

how can it be nice if there is so much poverty ?!? is the next question.

i think this is really an unfortunate thing that people dont know much about ghana and africa.

but its not a surprise.

if you hear something about africa on tv, radio or in the newspaper, its always about poverty, hunger, hiv/aids, malaria,…

of course this things are happening in africa. just like they do in europe, america, asia…

they would never show pictures of the lovely, lively people, playing kids, beautiful country..

its really unfortunate. i hope that i can maybe show it to some people that africa is not just what u see in the media.

africa has much more positiv things to offer!!!

you should explore it yourself!

am just trying to show you another side of africa.

soon i will upload some pics from ghana!
