The vuvuzelas are travelling

I saw four in Accra airport and two on the plane from Accra to Monrovia.

Also, my WordPress spell-check now recognizes the word.

I am watching the Ghana game this evening with Ghanaian UNMIL peacekeepers and police. Probably if they have vuvuzelas I will have to deal with it.

  1. Here in Accra, they were on sale several weeks/months ago at the Accra Shopping Mall – in its South African based anchor stores, Shoprite and Game. And then there are the local variations…

  2. They’re far from just a South African thing. A friend had one growing up in NYC in the 1970s, and said they were blown at RPI hockey matches. I’ve seen them used by Mexicans often.

    But I’ll be they’ll be a lot more frequent than before now. “I went to a hockey match and a vuvuzela concert broke out”
