Nsuta

Yesterday Anna and I travelled 6+ hours to get to Kumasi. The road was absolutely insane! There were potholes and speed bumps everywhere so it was a very bumpy ride to say the least. Nsuta is a small community about 1 1/2 hours from Kumasi and 30 min from the town Anna is staying in. It is very different from Accra and alot like the Africa you see on TV. It is in the middle of the jungle and most of the houses are very run down. There is no running water so we walk down to the creek and fill buckets to shower. There are flies everywhere! I have never seen anything like it in my life. There is also goats and chickens running around everywhere you look. The roads and everything are completely dirt and no one has stoves or kitchens. You cook outside with some hot coals. There is a really nice guy here named Romeo who is the local coordinator and he is Poppos best friend. He is my age so hes really fun to hang out with. His mom is also the cook so his little brothers bring me food 3 times a day. I have just been hanging out with him and his friend today walking around the town and meeting people. Then we came to the nearby town of Mamgpong where I am now to use the internet. Tonight I am moving from the house I am now to the place I was supposed to be staying but the girl took my room. They were out of town this weekend and took the keys so tonight we will figure it out but I think they will share a room. I met one of the nurses I will be working with and we had an awesome night chatting about the culture and what I want to do at the clinic. It is my first day working tomorrow so I will have more to tell you then. Ciao xoxo
