hey there! I hope the new year is treating everyone well! I know some people are starting school again. How's that going? anyway, Ghana has been pretty cool. I still haven't met my roommate but apparently she's really nice (according to the porter). We're in the rich dorms apparently. One of my suite mates has a laptop, fridge, tv, microwave, boom box and a car. this is pretty much unheard of considering some of those things are more expensive here than they are in the states. it's actually a nice sized room. really high ceilings and lots of space. it's crazy cause you have to lock everything here. there's a lock on my closet, then on my door then on the door to the suite. it's kinda getting old but i know it's necessary. There are 6 people per suite with two bathrooms. The showers are 2 degrees below freezing which you would think would be refreshing in the heat. it's not. i'm slowly getting accostomed to it though. The hostels are kind of far from campus but i think i got the best deal with housing. it seems as if i wouldn't have been very happy in the other places.

The food here is GOOD! It's so spicey though. I pretty much will leave plates half full cause i can't handle it anymore. But it's really good, and cheap! i've been getting meals for like 40 cents... Anyway gotta run! Talk to you later!
