The Lowdown - Our final Training session at Ford School, Nungua 4th October

It's our last full day of Project, which means this is our last blog post about Training. We had our last Training yesterday and it certainly was one of the best! Read below for more details!

The High's

• When we arrived at Nungua School, we were ushered onto a bus full of Rangers! We promptly led a massive and very loud version of "Everywhere we go" which went down a storm. Even the boys wanted to be Girl Guides (what's new??)
• After our song teaching, we were taught some amazing songs including a song about Free Being Me which Mhairi loved! 
• Once again the sun was shining for GOLD Ghana 2016 so we took some of our Training outside. Suntan and training at the same time? WIN!
• We met our first lot of Rangers - and they did not disappoint! Once again, we had a great PR radio chat show complete with the most Scottish radio presenter....
• Fake magnums coupled with competent TroTro navigation. We even had to change TroTro. We. Nailed. It. Can we get our TroTro badge and Ghana Citizenship yet?

The Low's

• We might have forgotten Henry at our Training! (Or he might have been kidnapped like Paul the penguin!) We are very sad GOLDies; losing your mascot is never fun. 
• Yesterday's TroTro was very low on our TroTro rating list. It had a rusty floor we could see through, no space for tall people like Terri, the doors did not close, and we were stuck in traffic. A weak 1/10.

The Funny's

• After we trained, we decided we needed to treat ourselves (obvs). We proceeded to have Rolo ice cream with 100s&1000s. Adulting is only a daytime thing....
• On the subject of food, we had a makeshift sandwich making sweat shop, where we sat in a circle, made a mess of crumbs on the floor, and made the weirdest and most basic sandwiches ever while everyone watched. We then had Kenke (similar to both Banku and Fufu) where Alice ate a full handful of chilli. We laughed. A lot.
• Mhairi has mastered the "Tsss" of attracting attention of TroTro vendors. She proceeded to buy two bags of plantain chips. 

GOLD Ghana 2016's Guide to the "Tss"

The "Tss" is something we have became experts in (Much like TroTro's and Jollof rice). The "Tss" is for attracting attention and can mean various things including:

1. "Tss" = "Hello, I wish to purchase something from you please Sir/Madam"
2. "Tss" = "Hello Sir/Madam, would you per chance like to purchase something from my head or market stall?"
3. "Tss" = "Will you do me the honour of marrying me you beautiful lady?"
4. "Tss" = "I wish for you to come closer (Cat)"
5. "Tss" = "Excuse me, you seem to be lost. Would you like to come in my taxi or TroTro?"
6. "Tss" = "Please move out of the way, I am carrying a large piece of Latex Foam on my head and I may injure you."
7. "Tss" = "Can I have your attention? Not for anything in particular, however I would like it just for two seconds. Thank you."

GOLD Love
