A milestone! Thank you readers!

Yesterday, I reached the 10,000 viewers milestone and I am rather chuffed by it. In the whole scheme of blogs it is not a very high milestone, but for a little blog about Ghana I think it is not a bad effort. It works out at over 100 readers per blog!

The predominant reason for writing this particular piece, is to thank all of you for reading and hope that you continue to read, and hopefully enjoy what I have to say. When I started this it was for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was to spill out all my frustrations on to paper in a therapeutic fashion. It has indeed been a great stress reliever and, with more struggle in Ghana ahead, it should continue to be one. 

Secondly, I wanted to write a frank and no holes barred account of my time living in Ghana. I have never been a lover of blogs written by travelers. They all seem the same! I ate in a lovely restaurant, the sun was really hot, the sea was really blue, the locals were interesting I saw them throwing tomatoes etc etc. (The only traveller I really enjoyed was an old friend called Marcus Ward, i am pretty sure he doesn't read this, but this guy was a real story teller!) I have just about been brave enough to put down almost ever little thing that has happened to me over the last year and a half. (of course there were certain gritty bits i had no choice but to leave out!)

I am in the middle (maybe still at the start) of an interesting journey here. I have had the opportunity, in Ghana, to do and experience many different things that there is no way I could have done back home. I have a flourishing TV career, have acted and have become a published journo. I have been in fights, I have been called a racist, I have campaigned against and met a former president and made a friend called Shane the Cricket! (And drank a lot of Mandingo!)

For those of you that started reading late, have a look back at some of the earlier blogs. Some of them are quite fun!

The journey will continue and the goal is still success. People often ask how long are you staying for? The answer, I don't know? I really have no idea, I just know that I have started a lot of things here and I must see them through to know whether they can work or not. I am confident still that sometime soon, Yevu will be all over the world. For now thought, Yevu is still in Ghana, and still writing!
