So the beginning of my trip to the Volta has gotten off to a real rocky start. Waited four hours for the tro tro to Swedro to fill up… which counting the four additional hours of travelling time, meant that I had spent eight hours trying to get to this forsaken town. Ended up getting to the city-village at around 9pm just after the end of the Germany-Turkey game.
Seeing Tanja was good. Seeing the conditions she lived under was surprising to say the least.
She lived in a hamlet about 10mins away where the water doesn’t run, bugs ruled the house and toilets were literally holes in the ground. While I can see why she wouldnt be too happy here, her ability to stick it through was awesome to say the least. I am not sure if I could have done the same thing. But in anycase these were not her primary complaints.
Long story short, Romesh, never forget how one husband controlled and used his wife even when she was the primary breadwinner.
Thats all that needs to be said about that.
