What is Accra Pictures by Day and Night?

Accra is the capital of the small, West African country of Ghana, which achieved its independence in 1957 from its colonial master, the United Kingdom. It celebrated 50 years in 2007, and is projecting itself fast and furiously as "gateway to West Africa".

It's an exciting city, with its unique problems, but with it close to the Atlantic ocean, and many beaches, who can resist coming here?

Whilst we are on Metro Mass Transport

This is a picture, taken last year, of me holding a ticket for the Metro Mass Transport bus I took. If you are interested, you can read more on this here, about how it began to upstage the tro-tros, that are the soul and life of many a foreigner travelling througout Ghana.

In any event, the 1000 cedis you see is so cheap it's not funny;-) $US1=cedis 9000, so that's, what, 1/9th of a dollar, or 9 cents? to travel from inside the capital to the airport area, which is about twenty minutes.

Is this cheap for the people in your city, too? I mean for me it seems the best bargain for a while, but sometimes this is still a lot of money for the people in the country...

sounds like the way to travel!!! Moonsoleil has a good point. Is it affordable for all , or most??

irredento--oh, tourists can certainly take it:-)

kris--:-)

moonsoleil--actually, it's not too much; the price is very reasonable. Minimum wage is now cedis16,000/day, which is in dollars:16000/9000, or roughly $1.77/day.

jenni--it's affordable to all. There are different type of transport available, with this being the cheapes around, along with tro tros, whose safety is not always so great, but that work very well for people (BENZ 207 buses are usually used for these)


jeni--thanks!!
