180

So my internship confusion is kind of worked out. It turns out that WISE wanted to send me to this refugee camp that is around 40 miles west of Accra. My program director objected, so now I'll be working with a different group, teaching children math and English, I believe. I'll be working with my roommate Taryn out there as well. I don't know any more details yet, but while this is slightly less exciting, hopefully they'll like me more than the last place did.
In other news, there is a man who is always in the internet cafe near my house who does nothing but play Mafia Wars on Facebook. Constantly. Hooray bringing modern technology to the third world? Right next to the internet cafe there is a video game parlor which I have resisted going into, but I did notice someone playing Madden 2010 in there yesterday. The temptation to go beat some people down is great. They don't even know what American football is right? I mean I don't know how soccer works, so that must be the case.
