This evening, made the mistake of brushing my teeth in the dark. Didn’t spot the green stink bug perched on the toothbrush bristles until it was actually in my mouth. Suddenly the all too familiar, nauseating odor became a taste. Stopped short of swallowing it fortunately, but spent the next five minutes rinsing my mouth with copious amounts of water.

While traveling down to Lomé last week, I was dismayed to see that the new Bafilo bypass is closed. Instead, I had to take the old road that goes up over the famous Faille d’Aledjo otherwise known as ‘the lorry graveyard’. Apparently they they are having to completely resurface the new road again, less than a year after it was opened, because the job was badly done the first time. With the minimal resources that Togo has, it is heartbreaking to see this.
