A Trip to the Mall

So my roommate Meghann and I decided to hang out tonight at the Accra mall. Always entertaining! We had dinner at this Chinese restaurant we go to frequently. We hadn't gone there this year yet, so our usual waiter was happy to see us! So we ordered our water and prepared to look in the menu just in time for our waiter to inform us that they did not have any pork dishes available today...or chicken dishes for that matter! Have you ever in your life been to a restaurant where two thirds of the menu wasn't available?! Meghann and I just started laughing and ordered several beef dishes. You know you've been in Ghana a while when you just roll with the weirdness! So we enjoyed our beef dishes at the Chinese restaurant in Ghana listening to the background music of "Killing Me Softly." It doesn't get better than that!

Meghann and I also decided to see a movie while we were at the mall. There really are only two reasons to go to the mall. To eat or to see a movie. Rarely do people actually shop! It was fun seeing a movie especially since you get free popcorn and Coke on Mondays. After the movie we noticed a rather large group of people outside the theater...Then someone called out "Make a hole people!" and apparently someone rather famous came out because everyone went crazy! Security escorted someone down the steps, through the mall, and out the door. People were running after them with camera phones while Meghann and I stood wondering who we just saw. Well, now I can say I saw "someone famous." I don't know who it was, but I did see a famous person!

So there you have it, just another day in Ghana...
