The Western World?

I left Bambey around 9am Friday morning and met up with several people for lunch in Thies. Afterwards 6 of us piled into a sept place and made our way to Dakar. We spent the rest of the day killing the 12 hours we had before leaving for Ghana. Finally around midnight we went to the airport and checked into the flight. We hung around the airport until 3:00am when we boarded. We were on the plane by 3:30 (after taking a bus to the plane) and took off around 4am. After taking off they dimmed the cabin lights. Then they turned them back on to serve us dinner (chicken and rice or fish and potatoes) at 5am. The lights were turned off around 6am and we landed at 7am. Fast forward to noon (after a shower and a nap): we went to the mall. Yes. The mall. It's like a normal indoor mall with a food court, nike store, puma store, apple store, a few other stores, and.... A MOVIE THEATER!
Because Ghana is an English speaking country they were playing a few recent American movies. After walking around we bought our tickets and went to see Sex and the City 2! I wish I could convey how excited we were when we found out it was playing, but I just don't think I can do it justice. Sure the movie was pretty horrible but we ate popcorn, sat in a movie theater, and watched a recent movie - it felt like I was back in the suburbs.
We're back at the hotel now and I am about to pass out working on about 3 hours of sleep over 36 hours. Tomorrow we are going to study and hang around. The test is on Tuesday - wish us luck, I'm sure I'll be posting more!
