A missed opportunity

Today was total chaos in the office. There were a lot of people visiting, newcomers, people leaving, and a lot of confusion/debate about many internal logistics. In the end, nothing got accomplished. It's weird realizing that I spent the whole day in the office and did nothing. Bleh :[

But, at least, I finally got a sim card so now I have a Ghanaian phone number. I didn't have time to buy credits, but hopefully I will have time tomorrow.

Earlier today during an errand run, I missed the best photo opportunity. I was in Osu and saw a woman with stuff piled on top of her head, snapping a photo with her camera. Her clothing was dirty and old, and she looked somewhat poor. Just the clash between the poor and simple with the sophisticated and progressive was just too great. I wish I had been able to take a picture. Keep it coming, Ghana :)

And on a finally note, I found a seamstress, and I think I should get something made. Nothing special, but something fun with colorful African fabric. Maybe I can get a dress made for the wedding in December. At least I should get my really long pants shortened.

The photo opportunity might have been great, I bet! The idea of a dress with colorful Africa fabric is great. Don't miss this opportunity =)
