Ugh, I seriously had to walk a block out of my way for the president of Ghana? Would anyone even recognize the president of Ghana?

Best line about the H Street hostel:
"I KNEW there must be a hostel nearby. I've been seeing all these confused white tourists on the X2 in recent weeks!"
The rates seem pretty damned good, much better than even the cheapo hotels. And it looks really clean, like the set of some classy porn movie. Which makes me wonder whether these tourist kids are interested in making a little money on the side. Candid photography...click-click...wink-wink...nudge-nudge...say no more, say no more.
