A dip in the waters - Random musings from a returnee

It's midnight and the night club down the road is treating me to some classic 80/90s songs - "Karma Chameleon" by Boy George and now "Illusions." I can't wait to hear what's next. I have now gotten used to the sounds of Wilkinson Road - music from the club down the road, the hum of various generators, car horns, and on Sunday preaching from the club-turned-church down the road. I returned to Sierra Leone in March, but for the first few months it still felt like I was back on some extended holiday. Now with my own place, complete with "og foot cask" to collect water, I think I can finally say I have moved from JC to 'Returnee'. So this is the first of somewhat regular musings of a Sierra Leonean returnee. I've been promising this blog for a while, and this is just my first dip in the waters. By the way, that next song..."Pink Cadillac."
