Day Three!!
Last night we went to a bar/restaurant call Paddy's (so..one would imagine it to be Irish...)...but it served Indian and Chinese food and played old boy band music!!!! Reminded me of high school days! It was fun hanging out there...it is at the sea and had bright lighting...they were playing an action movie at the same time as the music..very entertaining!! [I have pictures too :)] Oh hindi movies are soo popular here!!

We spent all morning today touring other hospitals in the area...one of them is a private hospital that serves the 'richer' folks. The doctors there are primarily from India!! Its a pretty decent hospital, though it could do with more equipments too. They seem to have a pricing hierarchy- the ex-pats and foreigners pay more than the local folks. Well...the hospital said that, but I am not sure how true it is. They seemed to be a bit hesitant to report details. Our project is primarily focussed on Connought hospital- the main teaching hospital in Freetown. Hence, any improvements would be hugely beneficial. This picture was taken enroute to the hospital run by an Italian NGO- the only hospital in Freetown that provides free medical help. But its located on an unpaved dirt road away from the heart of the city!So...I am off to 'tour' Freetown on foot now. There are some German guys here...working on micro finance stuff and we may meet up with them tonight and explore some more. And then probably go to some of the beaches tomorrow...umm..I am getting REALLY tan...aahhh...
