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 celebrates 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? Come along...

Brought up in Brussels, Belgium (1981-2004), it took me a while to grow up. The sudden passing of my late brother in early nineties forced me to do just that. I love Brussels, but I had to come back to my home of Accra, Ghana in Aug 2004 to work professionally. My journal-writing since 1989 only goes to underscore how the blogosphere is good country for me: it complements my various writings—including since Oct 2007, those for Ghana’s only Sunday newspaper Sunday World as ICT/Technology columnist, which position was seconded by a former boss.

LOL! Yes, a bike would do the trick.
Umm... your kebab post below has inspired me to make a request. ;-) If possible, when you get a chance and happen to come across the occasion, could you please take a photo of kelewele (fried plantain) and other street foods? Thanks.
