Thailand: Sunrises, sunsets, snorkeling and spelunking (and lots of really good, cheap food)

Enjoy the pictures! Explanations behind some of them will have to wait, in the mean time, greetings from my current location of Sydney, Australia!

Life in Lome

More pictures! I wish I could have done this ages ago, but better late than never I guess!

Here are some snapshots of life in Lome including, in no particular order: the inside of a Taxi (most of them are in a comparible state of disrepair); some pictures from WAGES; the swimming pool - and me trying to convince Soke to take off her water wings; preparing Fufu (one of the most labour-intensive dished ever created, I think) and what it looks like after; playing soccer with kids from the orphanage where other STAESA volunteers work; one of the snazziest buildings in Lome... I believe it's the headquaters for the national bank; some road-side retail; driving along the Ghanaian border; me with some members of my host family at a funeral (yes, those are matching outfits we're wearing - it's common for everyone in the family to wear the same pattern for the occasion); my laundry hanging out to dry; my most favourite condom ad ever (you should have seen the billboards); some colleagues I had to trick into smiling - most people will keep a straight face for pictures so sometimes the only way to get smiley pictures was by stealth (though some of them did smile willingly), the cat, and a picture of the sunset on downtown Lome traffic taken from the back of a motorbike.
