Mar 16, 2008 - Driver said: people like the idea of a foreigner, especially an American, being the tro tro (van) mate (assistant). Even if they are going in the opposite direction, people still join the tro tro and go all the way to the end of the route and come back in the opposite direction.

Apr 3, 2008 - We hate on trotros cos chances are if you take one your clothes will be ripped on some sharp object jutting out of nowhere (I know this from experience). We hate on villagers cos they're always visiting without notice and asking for money. Yeah maybe some of the rich aren't honest, but don't be fooled into thinking the poor are! We take taxis for our own safety and comfort. I'd rather not be stuck in some trotro mate's armpit. So there. Judge all you want.

Apr 3, 2008 - oh so just cos he's white he's too good for trotro mate work? you clearly have issues!

May 31, 2008 - Stop all you jealous and hating Ghanaians. Today's anthropology studies involves experiencing the researched target,so Van's work in Ghana is not anything strange. I am surprised a responder said he doesnt not like using trotro in Ghana. That is his choice, but I can tell one everyone that in terms of security and personal safety, a trotro is much safer than a taxi, recognizing the fact that armed robbery is high in some Ghanaian highways.

Oct 21, 2008 - To all who are not feeling Vanick's experience,shame on you ! This young man went to Ghana to study,fell in love with an occupation reserved for drop outs and deemed demeaning by so called High class Ghanaians. At least Ghanaians get to see that there is dignity in hardwork and there's nothing wrong with an "oburoni" working as a mate.

daheartman Says:

Oct 21, 2008 - I lived in Ghana for 5 years working in an orphanage in WA and as a young American the experience will remain a part of me till my last breath. I love Ghana and people of all colors, creed or nationality. To me it's all about love for mankind and one's readiness to learn from their experiences in life. Vanick, you did good son ! God Bless the USA and the people of Ghana.
