My Oyiboland Wahala Continued

By Edmund Smith-Asante
On board a SAS flight to Brussels

I was somehow optimistic that my luggage would be found but the when was the matter.
Would it arrive when I was in Brussels or would I get it before enplaning for the EU-Africa Summit?  Only time and patience would tell.

Serious Wahala for Oyiboland


By Edmund Smith-Asante
I flew in a similar Turkish Boeing aircraft back home
It is 7:39 am European Time and I don't know how to describe how I am feeling right now.
Should I be angry or happy?
Well I guess a mixture of the two, since I am finally leaving for home after about a week's sojourn in Europe on official duty. As a matter of fact I am writing this piece tens of thousands of miles above sea level, on board Turkish flight TK 1942 from Brussels to Istanbul, where I would connect a flight to Accra.

A Tour of Denmark

BY EDMUND SMITH-ASANTE
Its my first trip to Denmark and I have had a very wonderful experience I would love to share with you. 

Time would not allow me to do that now so be on the watch for my accounts from Copenhagen to Aalborg to Aarhus.

Two hours to Cotonou


By Edmund Smith-Asante
This is Cotonou

At approximately 9:30pm on Sunday, the Air Cote d’Ivoire aircraft, flight HF522, took off at the Kotoka International Airport, bound for Cotonou, Benin.
Being my first time to the Benin capital, I naturally looked forward to arriving in that country just next door, and knew it was going to be a very short flight.
