Arriving here was nerve wracking. It is harder than I expected to be in a part of the world about which you know almost nothing. Everything is a potential danger; nothing feels secure or familar. I didn't get much sleep that first night. I lay in bed in my my warm, humid room, listening to all kinds of strange animal noises I couldn't identify. Roosters started crowing about when it was probably daylight in Japan, meaning it was the middle of the night in Ghana. It was a night of lots of worries, and lots of prayers.

Hello Robert in Ghana! I am glad you arrived in one piece...know that there are prayers coming at you from all over the world!!! :)
Are the roosters from Japan? I'm not quite sure why they would crow at dawn in Japan, but midnight in Ghana. Your story reminds me of a story about a woman from Kenya who thought she was going crazy when she moved to NY and could still hear the tigers crying...it turns out that the tigers were from the NY Zoo!
