C’MON…! USE THE PROFESSIONAL PUBLIC TOILETS

Posted on by under Entertainment, Social Issues

THE REASON BEHIND THE REASON

I understand professions vary to a wide extent. I could have guessed, but it never crossed my thoughts; until yesterday, I always saw ‘things as they are’. But now, I’m forced not only to look at the latent reasons, but also to look at those latent reasons that every other person would either not see, or would brush off as unnecessary. Looking around my environment, I think I’ve identified a case study:

THE ACCRA MALL

The thrill surrounding the Accra Mall, as one of the country’s finest, is fading away slowly. Not because there are stronger competitors sprouting up, but rather, most people are getting used to the ‘not-so-dynamic’ nature of the mall and ‘the same-everyday-stuff-I -can-get-anywhere’ theory. Latent meanings?

These are things we know, which that Miss Accra Mall simply ignores ;-)

  1. It’s a hook-up place for boys and girls, and oh, any professional prostitute (nope, sorry, sexual-alternative) would be wise enough to stretch his or her customer base.
  2. It’s that one place that Miss A and Mr. B could show how foreign they can get…it’s another country inside Ghana. Still wondering?? Clothes…dressing! That’s what I mean
  3. And sometimes, u can’t blame the everyday Ghanaian. This land can get real hot and with a little time to spare, why not walk through the mall and be air-conditioned?
  4. I would be so doomed to forget what brought up this whole discussion… ‘professional public toilet’ yep yep…it’s all yours to gain…at the mall ;-)

the web-a-holic-wanna-be couldn’t resist blogging about this…just a little deviation won’t hurt ;-)

Where do they go?

Day 1 of being a web-a-holic.

I get back from lectures and I tell myself, I’m starting the learning process today. So I grab a modem, slot it into my PC and the browsing spree is on. I try to convince myself I know exactly where to go. After twenty minutes, I was stuck with social network sites, my mail, news, my favorite download and xxx site ;)

So where the heck do these internet freaks go? So I decide to type weird names into the google search columns and just like ‘reaping what you sow’ I got weird sites too. 

Ok…this is my first day on the job and I can’t find an ‘internet-freak-like’ website to play around with?…searching searching…aha! I finally pick up something! It’s about this guy, Mr. Cheo, who has decided to make money for himself by connecting bloggers with advertisers. It’s a simple but great idea even though he describes it as not one of the ‘big bang ideas’. He started this business in Asia and has successfully expanded it to Malaysia, the Philippines and Australia.

Whichever way, more ideas are about blogging are sprouting up each day in diverse way. Good thing I wanna be an internet freak. I get to learn more :)
