Ghanian Walmart

The drive to work is quite long, as there is a lot of traffic on the main highway we need to take to the office.  What would take 20 minutes on a Sunday morning, took 1.5 hours on Tuesday at 6:30am.  The entrepreneurs have taken full advantage of the fact that we are stationary much of the time, and they are selling EVERYTHING!!  Here's a list I made today...
