Black vs. White

I saw a white guy riding a bike in my neighborhood a few days ago! I know it sounds weird, but it is exciting everytime I do see someone white in the area I live. There are not too many. I get the calls Oburni, Oburni which means white person. Some wave and say hi, tell me I look beautiful. I even had one guy tell me he wanted to marry me.....ha ha ha.....One time, there was a group of 3 girls and they said Oburni, good afternoon. I said Bebeni (means black person in the local language) to them and they were so surprised and had a good laugh. When I do go into town, I see so many white people, and I stare. Crazy. It makes me feel connected. There are quite a few that live here. The Ghanians are very friendly people. Some even try and help me with the local language. I try and go to the same kiosks (fruit stand, veggie stand, etc.) and get to know the ladies that way. I do miss the mix of people back home.
