Dear reader. I stopped uploading anything here in the beginning of December, due to lack of time and internet access and tiredness. But I made notes, of varying degrees of readability. About fifteen pages of notes, covering my journey from the last two days of fieldwork, a visit to Banfora, arriving in Ghana and what happened over Christmas there, and finally the long journey back home again. Now, I’ve been in Stockholm for a week. I’ve slept, eaten, spent days not getting out of my pajamas, hung out with friends. Now, it’s time to go through all those notes, turn them into something coherent, and share them with you. Maybe you’ll find it somewhat interesting, but most of all: I need closure. I don’t handle letting things slip away well. I want my documentation of my West Africa travels to be complete.
So, this is where we start. A month and a day ago, in the town of Kaya.
