How are You Feeling Today? Can Ghana Health Service Help?

It's become second nature for me to plug things I take a shining to, or feel may be of use to others. As regards this blog, writing about hotels is one of them. That I have just discovered this Accra blog being referred to on GhanaWeb for those interested in reading more about one hotel I "reviewed" is I guess a testament of where this blog can go.

Last February, I wrote a short brief of my perspective on the hotel that is two minutes walk away from the office--Miklin Hotel.

I was passing there last week, and noticed that they were [finally!] advertising the website of the Ghana Health Service. Ghana Health insurance is something which billboards I have featured here before.

It's too early for me to provide an assessment of the site, except to say that here's a snapshot of the main page here:



Enjoy your weekend and dare-I-say-it: keep healthy!;-)

Miklin Hotel at Night: What a Difference Tungsten Makes

The title says it all: this is Miklin Hotel of Feb 20, 2007 fame (below), but this was taken with a "normal" frame--i.e.with a flash from a distance of around 200metres (if you count standing behind the gates of the hotel and the front that many metres;-) )...

...whereas this particular picture was taken with a tungsten style on my Polaroid digital camera. How do you find the difference? The blue looks very elegant, in my view...

Welcome to Miklin Hotel, East Legon, Accra!

I figured since some of you may not be able to be in the country to celebrate Ghana's Jubilee Year, I would bring you a snapshot of some of the hotels, as a way for you to live vicariously through the pictures on how the experience of these hotels might be like. Today is the start of these occasional posts, and this is of Miklin Hotel, located in East Legon--a few metres walk away from my office;-)

The staff at this hotel are very friendly, but the food at the bar takes quite a bit of time to arrive. It serves everything from local Ghanaian dishes (jollof, fried rice, banku and tilappia) to sandwiches and chips, with any dish you like.
