Accra by Day & Night
(Ghana is 51 years! Click the website
here!)


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...

Of Goats & Men, or A Typical Accra Scene...

...is a car waiting for goats or sheep to cross. I don't think that is necessarily a reflection of the patience that Ghanaians are supposed to have, but certainly a good measure of some of it?

I've met a number of taxi drivers, however, who have revved the engine, attempting not just to scare them off, but really to knock them down! I guess there are homicidal tendencies everywhere!

I guess ultimately, it depends on the type of person you are. As a dog lover and dog-owner, I cannot stomach any dog being maltreated. I really wish middle-class Ghanaians would take better care of them as a starter! (That's for another day!)

Enjoy your weekend...
