Dagbani

First we had class under the tree down the long road which was nice and now we are meeting right next to my room, in an unfinished part of the house. That first day of class under the tree was full of laughter. Now we are Three to a teacher and it's getting intense. Luckily we have tea and biscuits my Dadi bought "to be supportive."

Let me share what we have learned in the fun Culture section of the class. In the land of the Dagbonas greetings are long. Everyone you pass you greet and you don't just ask how they are doing, you ask how their whole family is doing, one person at a time. They do not give gifts of food in odd numbers because they would not be able to share equally since they are bad at fractions - and like to share.

Everywhere in Ghana - Do Not Smell Food. Kind of like you can't use your left hand for anything other than "filthy" things. That is hard to get used to, can't imagine if I was actually left-handed.
