dear all!
i hope you are all doing fine!
i left ghana in the end of july, since then i am in austria and the weather is great! it rains every day, and it is cold - perfect for me after years in ghana without a lot of rain and too much heat!! besides me i think no one is happy about this "summer"!
i still want to show you some last pictures from ghana...
 |
| goods are carried on the head - likt this the head often becomes a market place! |
 |
| last pictures from the village i stayed... |
 |
| old jerseys from the soccer club where i played as a child! |
 |
| this is the flower of... |
 |
| ...ground nuts (pea nuts). but the nuts are obviously in the ground! |

| i visited a function at our kings palace |
 |
| military and police ensured security for the function |
 |
| our king nayiri sitting in the highest position with some of his chiefs |
 |
| other chiefs came to greet the king! |
 |
| people were looking... |
 |
| ...and looking... |
 |
| ...and looking... |
 |
| ...at the king! |
 |
| rainy season really started - finally |
 |
| people started to prepare their fields at the beginning of the rainy season |
 |

 |
| in vienna, in the 6th floor we had a visitor - and it stayed for 3 days!!! |
in salzburg i saw a crazy place - a training center built for the red bull junior soccer players and ice hockey cracks. they built the most modern ice hockey arenas in europe - its possible to train there all year
 |
| its really cold in here - the ground is ice and if it was warmer than 0 degrees it would melt...so you can imagine! |
and most crazy an indoor soccer pitch! 90 meters x 60 meters, a normal size pitch - but idoor! outside there are another 7 pitches.
 |
| something i have never seen all my life |
 |
| i also met isaac vorsah, a black stars player (ghana national team) who plays for salzburg now! |
 |
| thats the outside view of the training center |
i am now at home, have met many friends already and hope to see the other ones soon! i am also tying to find work in austria now. insha allah it will work!
if i have any interesting pictures again i will post them.
take care, kind regards from rainy salzburg, 7
