Second Kumasi Experience

This time in Kumasi, Eva (a peer educator that stays with us at the YMCA) and Ellen (who runs the Ashanti district YMCA and is in charge of our project) joined us. We arrived on Friday and settled into the Guest Line Lodge. We were introduced to a Lebanese man that Ellen knows and sometimes works with. He took us out for dinner at a Lebanese restaurant where we endulged in the best Lebanese food I've ever had. We stuffed ourselves and smoked the most amazing Sheisha. It was definitely a luxurious experience.
That night it was ladies night at Kiravi night club, the same night club we danced at the weekend before. This time it was so packed it was even difficult to dance at times. All-in-all it was a good time and we went back to the hotel very exhausted.
We all collectively decided that we would never stay at Guest Line Lodge again after the horrible night of sleep we had. A church service started at 1 am and lasted until about 3 that kept us up. Then when that was over about an hour later there was a couple fighting in the building next door that kept us up for the rest of the night. Noise travels far here.
On Saturday we visited the Cultural Center where some of us bought traditional African gifts for friends and family back home. Later in the afternoon we went to the Ghana Social Club, which is run by the same Lebanese man, to watch a soccer match that Mosquito and Banana (two boys who work at the Kumasi YMCA and often takes us around) were in. It was the Ghanaians against the Lebanese. It was weird to see so many Lebanese people in Ghana.
We ate dinner at a restaurant called Vic Babboo's. The meal was decent but made some of us a bit sick. That night we were looking forward to a good night's sleep but unfortunately that didn't happen. The power was out and so the hotel was using a generator which made such a loud noise it was almost impossible to sleep.
The next morning some of our team went to Banana's church in the morning. Others stayed in to rest. We left shortly after that to Konongo.
