Journal Entry 10: Getting Paid to Get Laid

As I was with some of my friends and we were driving back to the hostel Sunday evening, we noticed several women standing on different corners of the street wearing very short shorts. Our Ghanaian friends in the car pointed them out to us as prostitutes. This was not the surprising part. Apparently, they charge 5-10 cedis to their customers, and a little more than that if you'd like to have unprotected sex. I couldn't believe anyone would put themselves at such a risk. Especially as the customer, you might be paying more money to get a disease. This bothered me for a while, but I realize that for many people, that life is a reality.
