Orientation day

Made it to Takoradi late last night and meet the other students. 24 of us for this week (10 From UK 11 from Ireland, 1 from Canada and 1 other American!)
Half are medical students and other half are nurses. I am the lone physical therapist.

The house is pretty big with 6 rooms that have 2 bunk beds each, huge eating area, kitchen, and patio.  We have power and water but the power goes out all of the time so most of the time I spent outside.

Today was our orientation at the hospital and got to see all of the wards, NICU, ortho floor, HIV clinic, surgery, ER, Physio clinic, and ear nose and throat clinic. The Physio clinic was pretty big and my superior was a very nice lady. Cannot wait to start on Wednesday (we do not
Start clinic tomorrow because it is Ghana's national Independence Day)! 

After that we went around town and got a feel for the area, how to get Tro-tro's (public buses), see the beaches, market, and store.
