7 March

The second day we spend organizing the photos and discussing the project. After having a typical Ghanaian lunch made by Leticia we go to an internet café. A sign on the wall reads that it is not allowed to use the internet for porn and 419. After asking Fred we found out that 419 is used as a code for criminality. We loose power a couple of times, but it turns back on after a few minutes. This was for Shilesh directly a hard lesson, because he had not save the email he was writing. After the generator is turned on we continue and this time saving every minute.

When walking back from the internet café we decide to walk over a market which we were passing.

After we come back, a vistor stops by to visty Frederick, but because Fred is not home we take advantage to ask him some questions. Harry works for the Port Authority, but also has some insight into the flooding problems of Accra. He tells us that the flooding in Accra is a combined problem. For one, the drainage system gets clogged easily, then the open drains swell up and flood during heavy rainfall.
