Havn't posted in a while because I was in the shittiest country on earth.

 

Trip report anyone? ;)

 

--Trip Report--

 

Intoxicant - Liberia

 

Trip time - 2 weeks

 

 

Well, I've never been anywhere worse. I spent two weeks at a hospital dealing with a population that makes under 5$ a month.

 

AID's is an epidemic 

 

Ebola is everywhere

 

They use the beach as a toilet.

 

Half of the cities are in ruins from the civil war

 

The whole country is a F***ed mess

sweet vaca. show pics

sounds like fun

Did you contract AIDS or Ebola?

Post some pictures? :P

(y)

Why'd you go? 

Did you die?

I'm waiting for the film to be developed so pic's should be posted either tonight or early tomorrow.

Why'd you go? 

I volunteered for the WHO to head a hospital development program in Robertsport.

Did you die?

I was mugged 3 times the first day I was there and after that the hospital hired a local group of ex-combatants for our security.

 

The poverty there is unreal... I've been everywhere in the world including sierra-leone in the late 90's and nothing was as bad as this place.

 

The hospital that was being developed was more like a warehouse than a hospital. I had to instruct the new WHO volunteers on how to setup a proper bio-hazard isolation block. Once everything was setup no one came until I visited the locals in their environment.

 

I did make a friend there his name was Joseph and he took me through the day to day lives of the locals. He told me about the drug epidimec there and I didn't know anything about it when I got there. So I ended up visiting the local drug dens and offering to give people sterile kits ( Sterile Kit - Sterile Needles, Syringes, Alcohol Pads) to decrease the transmission of things like AID's and Hep C. 

 

After I gave one of the local den owners sterile kits for his buyers he thanked me for trying to help is people and offered me a couple grams of Swazi-Gold as a sign of good faith. I sat down rolled a couple joints and passed them around, sure enough the locals ended up respecting me and I didn't have any trouble for the rest of the trip.

Did you die?

On the inside after I ate a local meal one of the patients brought me. The food was good, the parasites in food in Liberia are not.

Sounds like shit.

Sounds like shit.

Pretty much, the price of cannabis there is godly though. $3 USD for an Ounce.

It's something you have to do as part of the WHO, get in touch with the locals. That's really one of the few ways you can get people to go to the hospital there.
