Who is Esi?

Esi is my Ghanaian name and every child born in Ghana is named after the day he or she was born. I was born on a Sunday and according to the believes in Ghana, Esi is the passive, sensitive and warm member of the family. She tends to be shy and likes to keep to her self, but is very aware of her surroundings and usually is the secret keeper of the family.
Well if you know me... a lot of things described about Esi doesn't sound really like me. But with a few days before I leave for my 1 month assignment for the IBM Corporate Services Corps I am really curious about that other person in me. Again I am leaving to travel the world. This time to work in ...and experience Ghana. Together with 10 colleagues from all over the world.
Questions, questions, I have so many....I do not know what to expect, a country I have never been to, with people I do not know, working for The Tourist Board in Ghana, with my Chinese colleague I do not understand over the phone, And what the customer really wants from us ........ I honestly do not know.
Well, THIS sounds like me, a new experience, out of my comfort zone, looking forward to it!
