Exit Planet Dust




Finally got back home from a thoroughly exhilarating and gratifying trip. I spent the past three nights in three different towns, saw my bubbly little daughter, met two gorgeous eclectic ladies (hidden pearls of Central) and escaped a near-fatal motor accident.

Enough with the boring intro, this is exactly what happened (sugar-coated of course).


 I set off for my grandad's Palace in Otumi (a small village near Kade in the ER) after finally collapsing to his subtle pleas for me to come to visit. I left Accra with GH 200 or was it? Well, it wasn't exactly that much.
 I had earlier on Friday cashed some money at the atm to go visit a chiropractic practitioner to have my backache problem finally looked at, however, upon second thought, I scrapped those plans when I envisioned a smirk in the Doctors eyes with my hard earned cash in his hand.
Well I grabbed some brand new Zara kicks instead - y' all got to see 'em loafers...they're BIGGG!

Off to Kwame Nkrumah circle then I went at approximately 2pm Saturday, I briskly boarded the bus and soon my journey to Otumi begun. After hours of endless wander through towns such as Winneba, Agona Sweduro, Asamankese we finally reached the last transit town Kade.

Lost Wallet

Being the spendthrift that I sometimes can be, I had used my wallet quite a few times before getting to Kade so it was no surprise I freaked out when I suddenly couldn't find my wallet... it was in my traveling Polo bag but it was a scary few minutes.

Ahhh...the dust, the road from Kade to Otumi is one of the worst roads in the country. As I bumped and grind as the bus hit pothole after pothole I wondered why my granddad had left the luxuries of New York to return to this shit-hole in the middle of nowhere. 



WILL COMPLETE THIS SOON !!!
