Also, I see there is a new feature on the vsl website; Krio words and meaning. Very good. I think its a good idea so i am going to create my own list of Krio words:

Botobata or Noshe Noshe- Rubbish
Gbanga - Ode - Out in the open
Kpakpakuru - Hard, dry
Mumunyere - Snacks
Sukusuku - Sex
Gbakanda - Determined

So people feel free to make a small list of words

The word civilised is being bandied about a bit willy nilly with regards to Sierra Leone. There is an almighty attack of the book people on a thread in the forum about the Krios wether they were civilised or not. Well! I just finished reading Aminatta Forna's book about her dad and growing up in Sierra leone. Despite the horror and the tragedy that led her to writing the book, Sierra leone's

Sitting here in Sunny,slightly more civilised Costa Del Sol,Spain it warmed my heart to read your short excerpt on your recent trip home. Best of all.... the ending where despite the discomfort...you knew in your heart of hearts that you WOULD be back and loving it just the same..!! Remember...there's no place like home!!
