50 Ways You Know You Are a Peace Corps Ghana Volunteer
Hi all! Sorry it has taken me so long to post. Between training, lesson planning, and trying to integrate into my new community, I have been busy! So, to give you a glimpse into what I have been experiencing, I came up with a list of 50 things PCVs here experience a lot, all of which were part of a process of culture shock but we have gradually accepted as part of our everyday experience. Enjoy! And do not be too freaked out by anything listed here. I have been experiencing these things for 5 months now and am just fine. You know you're a Ghana PCVwhen: 1. You've killed an ant/spider with your bare hands 2. You've relieved yourself in a place you were definitely not supposed to 3. You've pretended not to know English to get out of conversations with locals 4. If you know there will be a porcelain toilet somewhere, you refuse to go to the bathroom all day until you find it 5. You'd rather spend a day without a bath instead of walking all the way to the boreh
