KNUST Middle SchoolMonday 9/13/2010 - Day 1 - Today was my first real day in Kumasi, Ghana. It was the first day of school for all the kids and I am attending school for 1 week. The school is really different. The students are mostly African but some international students attend but they are all black. There are about 40 students in my class and about 465 8th graders in all. In 7th, 8th and 9th grade there are about 1400 students total. The uniforms are really colorful as you can see mine is lime green. KNUST stands for Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science and Technology. The school is supposed to be very elite. The chairs are all small and wooden. They hurt your butt and you stay in one classroom all day and the teachers come to your class. You get 2 snack breaks for 15 minutes and 1 lunch break for 40 minutes. There are no computer and if you get in trouble you get caned (hit with a stick). The food is very different everything is really spicy and made with tomato sauce. I had a traditional dish called FuFu which is made out of a white yam but it

KNUST Middle School tastes like a dumpling. You pull it apart and dip it in your stew but I like mine plain. I did dip it a few times.
