Now typically when I use that phrase it's in reference to a credit card purchase, but yesterday I got my passport back from the Ghanaian embassy with my visa stapled inside. woohoooooo!
One more potential barrier down!
So, in my last conversation with the volunteer coordinator at Linking Cultures he mentioned that he was working on my accomodations and getting me a "gas stove and some cooking utensils." I hope this doesn't mean that I won't have electricity. I think I need to clarify this point. On the other hand, the information on the website lists other perks, like my very own mosquito net. I wonder if I can strain pasta with it?

Meanwhile, let's hope you have a private space for- shall we say gently- relieving yourself. If you don't have electricity, I imagine a flushing commode is optional?
a lot of places don't have a central gas line for cooking and you have to buy gas in tanks to use for the stoves. i think you'll be safe as far as electricity is concerned, but then again, it is africa (thinking of south africa where they have these scheduled rolling blackouts).
I am so excited for you Christine. I wish you the best of luck and I hope everything goes very well and you have the best time. Things may get rough, but you can always contact U. of Ghana for room and board if desperate. lol! I know they have bathrooms. All the best!
