American Idiots

So, last night Kags and I returned to Champs (the American Sportsbar) for Trivia night. Previously we went with some UK and German students, but the UK students went home and we haven't been able to find the German students anywhere (and have no way to contact them). SoKags and I were our own team, American Idiots (thank you Green Day). We failed miserably in the overall game. There was one round where you had to identify as many people as possible on the cover of theBeatles's album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (click on the link to see how many you can do), which year certain famous historical events happened, name the names of drinks based on ingredients (where is my wife when I need her?), and various other things. However, all was not lost. We scored perfectly on the beer round, which consisted of a bunch of riddles (scrambled movie names, trains leaving at 120mph, asking questions of someone who always lies, etc). So we won two pitchers of Star beer. I dutifully finished my pitcher, andKags donated his to another table. Thus, the American Idiots were just smart enough to earn free alcohol.

Beer, Yes we have Beer

So, last night Kags and I found something like a restaurant in Korle Bu. It was pretty much a snack bar where you order food through a window and sit on tables in a bricked in patio. But it was clean, painted attractively, and no part of it was on wheels. Also, I had my first beer here. After asking the waitress what kind of beer they had (and she responding "beer, we have beer") I ended up with a 20oz bottle of Star Beer. Kind of reminded me of Coors or Michelobe. Not great, but it seems Accra's two big beers are Star and (oddly enough) Guinness. So when we went to Frankie's I had a Guinness.

I should clarify that in Kag's post, the guy thought I was mormon because I was wearing a white button down shirt with kackie pants. When in fact Mormon's usually wear white button down with black pants. And though we were travelling in a pair, Kag's was not similarly dressed.

I saw an older Ghanaian woman today wearing a shirt that read "Blonde Bomshell". We also saw a sign advertising "magical" checking accounts to increase money.
