Chez Jacques

Friday night, we were invited to the Jacks house for dinner. Many were invited and since it was late (and Lome has little electriticty or infrastructure) we decided to take a cab. 1000 CFA for 2 people... = $2.16. When the cab stopped in front of the house and noticed there were no guests. "Man, we gotta start coming a little later" I suggested. We go to the door. "Is this Chez Jacques?"
"Oui." replied the guard.
We wait in a patio area and joked a bit until the guard invites us in. Inside, we are escorted to a Togolese man's bedroom who is half dressed - half awake. Uhh... Sorry. Wrong Jack.

Today, I start the fim series at the University of Lome. Today's topic: Homelessness. Film: the Pursuit of Happyness.

Next Tuesday: Pay if Forward
