So this is my second blog so far. Was supposed to be doing them every Sunday and so far i have done one on Monday and now this one on... Tuesday. Woops. As relaible as ever i suppose.
Has been a really great week. Have done loads of stuff and the week has just flown bye. Started on Sunday with John, one of the other volunteers leaving in the evening so in the day we had a send of match for him. Was the management agsinst the supporters. I had already picked up the nickname of 'Kaka' from the name on the back of my AC Milan shirt but now after scoring 2 goals in a 5-4 defeat i keep getting called 'Kaka the Goal King'. Is pretty hilarious. But yeh were all sad that John had left as he was a really great guy. Im sure hes now at home enjoying his toilet, shower and his big Macy D's (and yes all at the same time i think).
This week we have been down the beach about 3 times. We have missed a couple of training sessions though because of it, is a bit naughty. But this beach is like the mist picturesque beach i think i have ever seen and in the week it is soo quiet down there. Is perfect. We also took the lads down in the morning on Tuesday as a nice treat, some of them had never been to the beach before! On thursday we went out for David Birthday (one of the other volunteers). Patrick told us he knew a nice restuarante that we could go to. So we got all smart and ready to go somehwere nice and then when we arrived we found...Anouther petrol station! Inside there were a few places selling food so we went in. Had a really nice pizza (Peze will be well jealous) then had a few drinks. Was a really nice night if a bit strange.
Thought that was wierd but then the week got even wierder on Friday night. We had decided to go out into town and go to this club that Patrick knew. We went to a few bars before hand, btw the whisky here is terrible, and then onto anouther place that we all just presumed was anouther bar. Turned out it was basically a Brothel!!! These girls cos only 10 Cedi's a night, which is a fiver! Still we decided we would come back later as some of the Ghanain men with us wanted to have some before they went home. Then went on, a bit shocked, to this nightclub. It was on this walk that i realised that pretty much every woman on the street was a prostitute. Anyways, got into this club and it looked exactly the same as Rhino! Except filled with prossies. Was quite bizzare. We then went back to this brothel so some of the others could have some fun and the night was over.
Anyways yeah the coaching has been going really well this week. All the lads are great to coach and can really see the improvement in the way they play. We have also arranged a 5-a-side tournament that we do every Friday that has gone down rally well. However, the week didnt start so well as on Tuesday i was taking the u12's in a session and after only an hour i sent them home as they were mucking around too much. They dont muck about anymore. lol. After that they have been great and we had a match on saturday that they won 2-0. Was brilliant.
And yeh to answer 2me i think i actually may be able to get you an Ak, though getting it out of the country might not be so easy. We were at the petrol station the other day having a few drinks and there was this policeman who had his AK on him but he was asleep! Next time i see him ill get it off him and try and bring it back for you :D also Mum yeh the food isnt too bad. Is just basically rice, beans and the odd bit of meat or fish with it.They have some pasta sometimes too. They do put this spicy sauce on everything though so you probably wouldnt like it, though Tley would love it!
Anyway hope your all ready for Uni and everything, my phone may be working within the next few days so ill txt some of you once it is.
Speak to you all soon,
Ben x
