Apartment in Accra

It is Sunday, April 17th - my sister's birthday - and I am still in my hotel room. Why? Good question. I was supposed to move into my new apartment last Friday...

However, yesterday it was still just partly furnished, dirty (probably never cleaned...), without water and electricity. Considering the advance lease payment for 12 months, I am a bit aggravated.

Well, but it does not come unexpected.

Also, when I wanted to buy the basic household equipment, which I need, the big South African supermarket chain could not accept my credit card. Thus, I could not even move to my new apartment, even if I wanted except if I wanted to sleep on the bare mattress :-)

Back to Africa.

"Everything in Africa bites.
The lion bites, the mosquito bites, the tse tse fly bites.
But what bites the most is Africa herself,
and when she bites,
she never lets you go."
