		<description><![CDATA[Exactly one month has passed since my return to the States from Ghana and I still feel like my head is reeling from reverse culture shock or, as I like to call it, “culture whiplash.”
When you leave your family, your friends, your University, your job — your home — for nearly 5 months, obviously things [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the day of my departure draws closer, I’m experiencing such a mix of emotions that I literally can’t fall asleep at night. My mind keeps racing with thoughts of how things will be different back home at the States, worries about adjusting to my normal busy life, and, of course, about how I am [...]]]></description>

Yes, the girl who declares that she will never be a mother and who finds it hard to get through a few hours of babysitting both worked at a refugee camp with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the taxi-moto driver encouraged the zippy motorcycle, also known as zemijohn, even faster along the quiet dirt road, I clung on for dear life with a single thought blaring in my mind: “I’m not wearing a helmet.”
The day before I found myself, once again, in Lome, Togo’s lovely capital city. My two friends and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“I like your outfit,” a young Ghanaian man called as I passed him on an early morning jog. He pointed to my shirt, which featured Obama on a stamp in traditional African colors.
“Thanks,” I responded, giving him a friendly wave as I jogged on.
It’s official: Ghana is obsessed with our president. He watches over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were very few times before I came to Ghana where I found myself fervently defending my gender. Here, it feels like a daily activity. In America, gender equality is generally axiomatic. Here, misogyny seems ubiquitous.
I should have known what to expect when I came to a country where marital rape was only recently made [...]]]></description>

We heard some shouts followed by a small stampede of Ghanaians running out of the nearby dorms, through the restaurant area, and towards the fields behind the building. I would have [...]]]></description>

She does not remember a great deal about her family except that her father was a journalist and her mother ran a restaurant that was located near her home—although she claims that she does not remember where she lived. Indeed, she doesn’t remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I hopped on the back of a taxi-moto, the zippy motorcycles that serve as the main mode of transportation in Togo, and sped off along the brilliant coastline towards the tree-shaded boulevards, I couldn’t believe my eyes. “Au revoir, Ghana,” I thought. “Bonjour, Togo!”
When you step across the Ghanaian-Togolese border, everything changes. Togo is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that one of the things I will miss most about Ghana when I head back to the States in three months is the endless supply of fresh produce.
Directly outside of my dormitory is a little place known as the Nightmarket. Vendors sell traditional Ghanaian food, egg sandwiches, clothing, hygienic products, CDs and DVDs… [...]]]></description>
