two doors will open - the Big Bang

I started this blog in 2006. It has seen me through a lot. I have posted from different countries in East and West Africa that I have lived in. It chronicles a huge part of my life.

I have decided that now, for various reasons, I am going to keep posting to this blog. And also be an open book on my years at work in: Tanzania, Uganda, and now Ghana. Clear as mud?

Datura, astenager-weed



In Ethiopian history prior to examinations, church students often chew and swallow a Datura weed called astenager to enhance memory of biblical quotations. Datura has been a popular poison for suicide and murder in India and some parts of Europe.
When we were kids two of my cousins take a grounded seed of datura, after they lost all their money in a foosball game at holiday eve - Meskel; later that night they start to show violent behaviour and hallucination, where they insanely end up in a hospital for a week. The side effect caused them confusion and memory loss; they both forget the names of their girlfriends and soon break-up.  It was a horrendous, and likely_fatal_experience.
