Of Goats & Men, Re-dux: Typically Accra!

Not dissimilar to this scene here, I can never get used to the fact that Ghanaians seem to move so freely among goats (and vice versa!), when the goats should be elsewhere!

Soul Food: Ball in the Accra Sky

I couldn't help snapping this picture as I walked home yesterday evening. Forgive the fuziness of the picture, and simply enjoy what looks like a ball in the sky, but is really the sun setting.

I can only surmise that is the East of Accra!

Typical Scene of Accra Morning Traffic

I rarely pass the Tetteh Quarshie interchange to get to work--thankfully! When I do, it's because I need to get to town for a work-related activity, or run an errand.

Judging by this scene, I am glad I do not have to pass here!

Ghana Road Indiscipline...

...could be the only explanation for this broken-down truck, parked on the shoulder of the Tema motorway.

Despite Ghana's National Road Safety Commission, Ghanaian drivers--many of who are illiterate as far as road signs are concerned--continue to cause serious accidents!

I think it's time the NRSC did some serious outreach!

Clear the Path! A Ghana Ambulance...

...on its way!

Oh, I forgot. In Ghana, you're likely to see an ambulance in traffic even if there is no emergency. This is usually because they're used for other purposes--like conveying dead bodies to the morgue.

What's the necessity of speed in that?;-)

I Bet You Didn't Know about Ghana Socks...

They are more than socks which are worn in Ghana that are actually made in China. These are the real McCoy. Look closely:...




















...they're made in GHANA! Hooray to Ghanaian enterprise!
