Currently, I am trying to do some research. However, I am extremely warm, limp, and sticky and am having trouble concentrating (obviously). It is finally cooling down since the sun has set (it's 6:30pm). May I remind you that "cool" means it is only 83 degrees F with 75% humidity. Michigan's cold is gonna kill me if this heat doesn't. Oh, extremes.
Anyway, I'm writing a paper about the biggest slum in Accra. It is called Sodom and Gommorah. Currently, the Accra Municipal Area is trying to evict the 400,000+ people who live in the small area. Yeah right people. I'll give you a few links to articles that I found interesting. It's a terrible situation really, but I'm pretty sure evicting 400,000 people by force ain't gonna work very well peeps.

When I have a conclusion (or "clunclusion" as I like to say), I shall enlighten you.
Peace!
