Ghana Day 2

Our plan to play into the lack of sleep to get on an "LSAT Schedule" worked and Alyssa and I got up around 7am without an alarm. We then went to breakfast and spent most of the morning studying. After working for a few hours we ventured outside of the hotel. I'd read online that Accra has a Chinese Restaurant that serves a dim sum menu on Sundays so we decided to check it out. Dakar has a delicious Chinese restaurant that's really low key, no decorations, simple tables - that kind of thing. Apparently always aiming to out-do Dakar, Dynasty Chinese restaurant in Accra is FANCY. The food was really good and the service was good which is a huge change from Senegal where good service means getting your food within 45 minutes of ordering and maybe having your order taken without having to find someone to take it. We walked around the Osu area after lunch and down a side street. I'm sure the rest of Ghana is nothing like this street was but the Ghanaian houses looked a little like Senegalese houses except they were all completely built and they were painted bright colors.

This afternoon was more studying and dinner was take out from lunch. We have one more day until the test and are just trying to lay low and stay in test mode. After the test we're going to try to go to the markets and take a day trip out of Accra to see just a hint more of Ghana. I have more to write about Accra compared to Dakar but that'll have to wait for another day.
