This post is way overdue

People tend to loosen up a lot when out of their region or comfort zone. Being at the odwira festival for the first time, I met new people in fact a lot of them. Some of them had really noble professions and others were students way back in Accra  and Kumasi but here they put everything aside and made sure they had fun,  after all ' all work and no play makes jack a dull boy'.

They were here to have fun and am pretty sure they did. Odwira is the traditional festival of the Akuapem. It marks another year in the traditional calendar of the akuapems. I heard it was fun so I just decided to go. The essence of travelling a whole distance to Odwira was to have fun and let go. Work and school can be stressful so a little fun or out of the ordinary things to do served as a good way to de-stress  The weather here is superb, its cool even in the afternoons not to talk of dawn , you cant see anything with the fog, when you spoke you can actually see vapour coming from your mouth.  I did a small experiment, I put an empty bucket outside at 10 pm and by 6am it was filled with water and am 100% sure it's the fog. Am not surprised people call the Akuapem area  'little London'.   Dancing,drinking and hanging out with friends isn't a new thing but we could all use a change of environment and do really crazy things you won't usually do.

 I was amazed at what I saw. I actually sat in a corner with a friend and just observed. It was just fun watching so I can imagine  the kind of fun those who were actually dancing had.Sitting down alone was fun, all we actually did was watch people dance. From where we were sat  it was a different music playing, and where they were dancing it was a different song playing but it looked like they were off beat dancing, it was just fun to watch and laugh our hearts out. 

There was this man who was also dressed as a woman, he had the best of dance moves, I won't be shocked to meet him somewhere and he's at his job place. Going to such events always has its perks, I didn't do any dancing or much drinking but just hanging out with friends and getting to look at people and laugh was fun enough.because people actually came for the event it could take up to an hour  or two to use your car to get out of the main town. This show how much fun people can have, everything good has its bad side, because of the crowd people actually got hurt one way or the other. But all in all it was a fun experience.
