my apartment

I recently moved into an apartment in the busiest part of the city. It is near one one the main transportation hubs for buses and tro tros. All day long you can hear over a loud speaker a guy saying, "Koforidua Mountain!" over and over. He does this to attract people going there since there really is no structure to the stations. You just have to ask around where the tro tro to wherever is leaving from.

The neighborhood is safe, but I am pretty much one of the non-Africans living here. I live on a dirt road (calling it a road is a stretch). It has huge rocks in it and puddles. I kind of reminds me of the set from Blackhawk Down. Cars rarely drive there and taxis generally ask for more money if you have them drive there. People are friendly and things are much cheaper in this part of town.

I share the apartment with 3 other people and one of my best friends is moving in the week. We have a pretty constant supply of water which is not always the norm. We also have a guy that cleans, does the dishes and laundry. It is a nice life. I will post pics soon.
