Circumspecte

A great thing about traveling is the people you meet. Not just the people you end up sharing a street, apartment, class, work space with, but also the people you share an aisle with on the train or plane. For the most part, I have shared my travel space with nice, interesting people - persons who are either non-hostile or extremely pleasant, with the former occurring just once. On my way back to Ghana for the Christmas holidays - my first in seven years! - I sat next to an elderly Ethiopian man who, for lack of a better description, had eyes that twinkled. He was friendly right from the moment he smiled and asked "19L?" when I tried to put my hand luggage in the overhead cabin. "Yes, that's me," I responded, before heading over to the window seat. He explained that he was trying to find an aisle seat since it's easier to move about considering his age - he seemed to be at least 70 years. I have always preferred the window seats I've typically been as...

Just a quick heads up that the travelogue - or in this case should I call it a relocatologue - I mentioned in my coming/going home post is live!! Found a pretty swell template that relays the excitement, disorder, and pure spontaneity of it all. So, if you'd like to hear about my travels (yes, with an 's' -- you need to stay tuned to find out more lol) scoot on over to Tikulma ! For my Ghana peeps, I have some really interesting questions for you peeps cos as it turns out, I'm somewhat clueless on a lot of things going on in the GH right now. There, I said it. I'm out of touch. But inshallah not for much longer. :)
