Kumasi Trip Pictures from early October.


I forgot to mention that I had a kick bottom Halloween in Ghana Friday night. A bunch of us pieced together some costumes then headed over to the other dorm for my first success and then failure at jello shots---- the heat really took it to them on my walk over to the other NYU dorm.
We made a stop at a Halloween party being thrown at the University of Ghana---kind of lame but good to see some people dressed up in costumes. We then made our way to a club called Aphrodisiac. They were throwing a Halloween party of their own... but they were charging 20 dollars per person to get in. Crazy? yes. My friend who is constantly working on a budget proceeds to bargain our way into this club. She gets a price of 60 dollars for our entire group of 12 girls, impressive right? We then proceeded to dance the night away. At points I found myself working to corral my over-served friends away from the closed off sections which were for private stripper parties... hmm I left around 2am to see my friends off to bed.

There is still a bit more left to my Halloween story. You see in Ghana there are police check points along the roads to make sure that everyone is safe in their vehicles. Well, before we arrive back at the dorm we are stopped at a check point. The police officer, with quite a big gun might I add, checks in to make sure we are all right. I am thinking since I am the most sober of the bunch should handle the conversation. I will present my side of the conversation with said policeman "Hello officer, yes we are fine. Where are we going? To our dorm, NYU, yes we are students, yes here in Ghana."..............."No I will not marry you."

Just a reality I 'spose.

My Halloween in Ghana.
Melted jello shots... sketchy club... dancing... marriage proposal.


All for now, go vote.
