To Pee or Not to Pee.....that is the question.

It is my duty to inform you of my WHOLE life here, not just the beach trips and cool pics.  If there is ONE THING that I do not love about living here, nor will I ever love - it is the public urination.  Not just public urination, but public #2 as well.  I've witnessed the #2 a couple of times and both times -  almost lost my lunch.  It is not a pleasant sight!  BUT the public urination is something I literally see every time I leave my house to go somewhere.  It seems that everywhere I turn my eyes, there is either someone about to pee, peeing, or zipping up their pants from peeing.  They never go behind a bush.  And often they FACE the road,  do not even turn the other way.  So, there you have it. My post about PEE.  I apologize..... but just keeping it real folks. (To be fair, a public restroom is HARD to come by along the street and when you gotta go, you gotta go - but it is not my norm nor what I would ever get used to)
Signs like this - very common

Even in the fancy hotels - really?  Does this mean Men and Women....or  #1 and #2?  

And WHY must they be so literal?  No pictures necessary - WE GET IT!!!!

OK, I'm done.  You are now completely informed.  Life is not all glamorous over here in Accra.  Now, if you'll excuse me....
