Worst TV Show Ever

There is a small shop at the junction near our house. When you hear the term ‘shop’ you think of a building among other buildings, but in Africa, it’s not always like that. This is a little shack that is actually very well stocked (although they always seem to be out of the sachets of cold water when I most want them). We pass by it several times a day and the guy who runs it knows my name. Today, when some little kid yelled out ‘obruni’, he said: “no, that’s Tony!” We were in the office all day today. I was working on schedules for the school of natural medicine, which have to be completely redone because the curriculum has been changed. Working in Ghana! I have also run into internet problems lately. The place I normally go has been awful. I went to one right by our office that is usually awful, but today it was great. Great here means that I can actually load the pages that I want. It’s been interesting to realize how dependent I am on the internet. It’s pathetic. But the Ghanaian papers don’t have too much about the Habs. What a start—long may it last. Although Ottawa is looking pretty amazing. 8-0 against the Leafs in Toronto and then 10-4 against Buffalo. They’re like the Oilers in the 80s. We had dinner at Bon Appetit again tonight, even though we did have power at home. I then watched “The Promise”. I can honestly say that it is by far the worst show I have ever seen. It is a Filipino show dubbed terribly into English. They made the actors from The OC look like stage-trained professionals. I have never seen such over-acting. Fortunately, the guy from Mali I met yesterday showed up and I was spared. I wonder why the producers of TV3 would choose this show. They must be getting bribed to show it.
