TRUE or FALSE

The Tamale office requires a PCV to be watching the house every day. Since the person who is usually in charge is on vacation, I was asked to watch it for a few days. Excellent! Running water, electricity, town full of food, and internet? Why the heck would someone NOT love this place?! I decided to take the opportunity and put on a TRUE/FALSE blog session. The answers will come with explanations later, so pay attention!
1. There are seven regions in Ghana.
2. Ghanaians can read English.
3. Ghana was the first place the Peace Corps went to.
4. You can live off a U.S. dollar a day.
5. They drive on the wrong side of the road.
6. I have worn a jacket and jeans at the same time here.
7. There is no alcohol here.
8. Ghanaians love to swim.
9. If you are in senior school you are between the ages of 15 and 18.
10. Ghana beat the U.S. in football (soccer) during the world cup.
11. You won’t find cheese here!
12. It can take you six hours to go the distance it would normally take an hour.
13. There is no such thing as ‘women’s clothing’.
14. The PC has guards at all offices at all times.
