Shower Power

While even the existence of this thing would have brought a smile to my face the fact of its location in a hotel room in Kukurantumi, Ghana puts me in an infinitely better mood. Enter, “The Shower of the Future”.
Yes, this shower was in my hotel room complete with: foot massager, overhead shower, clock-radio, and sink (yes, a sink in the shower!?) Hilarious, right?! I am not saying that it worked to its full potential, (sure, the running water was turned off at most hours of the day and night) but just the mental image of 6 or 7 Ghanaians carrying this monolithic cleaning device up the stairs will make me smile for years to come. I mean really, how else did it get there?

I should mention the room I was placed in (along with my roommate Katherine) was clearly the honeymoon suite so maybe a shower like this is common suit for honeymooners in Ghana. The room had many other interesting features, for example, it came equipped with a conference room, balcony, bar, and refrigerator, although these amenities paled in comparison to the shower.
