Today I went to the Mighty Jesus Supermarket to buy some stuff and found my balcony filled with the kids from across the way selling fruits and vegetables. I ended up buying two bunches of bananas and five pineapples for 30 GH to get rid of them. I successfully argued for not buying the coco yam leaves because I did not know how to cook them.
After the departure of the fruit vendors I ate a pineapple, some bananas and two slices of bread washed down with a bottle of liquid yogurt, a can of Malta, and a glass of banana and strawberry juice. Then I decided to go to campus just to get away from my flat.

Can you post a photo of the front of the store showing the Mighty Jesus Supermarket signage?
RE: "Then I decided to go to campus just to get away from my flat." I didn't know that Ghanaian fruit vendors were so in-your-face predatory? Hope that this doesn't happen again. I feel for your discomfort as one's own home should be inviolate.
It happens every week. Sometimes more than once a week. Today the kids wanted money to buy food on top of the money I paid for the fruit but I refused. One time the girl tried to get me to buy more by claiming that her mother beats her if she doesn't bring home enough money. But, that isn't the reason I left my flat today. The kids cleared out after I gave them the 30 GH for the bananas and pineapples. It was just boring in my flat and hot.
