THAT IS SUCH GOOD NEWS!!!! i know you would love hawaii!
accra is unlike any experience i've had in my entire life. i am essentially living in a slum, but the spirit of the people and their sense of community is stronger then what i've felt anywhere else in the world (and i've amassed quite a few miles in my time).
the hardest part is the dirtiness of it all. i felt like i've been covered with a layer of dust an sweat since i've been here. i have to shower with a big bucket and a small bucket to scoop water out onto my head. besides the dirtiness, people are so surprised to see a non-black that they either stare or shout "bruni" (which means white person) at you. everybody tries to talk to you or sleep with you, which is making me callous to the point where i ignore 15 year old kids.
but that aside, the nightlife is fantastic. i went to a rastafarian beach club last night where a reggee band was playing and everyone was dancing and having a really great time. i can drink here too! so weird!
it's great to hear from you and i hope to see you soon!
