Doing so drastically reduces chances of getting scammed. And the best deal you can have is actually a Ghanaian friend who's lived in the US(attended college here, etc) for a good amount of time. Someone you know personally or through friends. Case in point, a few of us will be visiting Ghana this summer with my best friend who is Ghanaian and who came to the US on college scholarship, etc. So far so good, everything is planned and we are very excited. There's nothing better than going with an <B>insider</B>. Feel free to join us...we're in Texas ("of all places" :-P)<BR/><B>P.S.</B> Ghana's official language is English(UK), albeit with it's own accent and flavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376030351170288376.post-15309776633025738692007-01-30T23:13:00.000-05:002007-01-30T23:13:00.000-05:00Rachel, english is the official language of Ghana....Rachel, english is the official language of Ghana. People are taught in schools in english. I watched the show and Bourdain didn't really need translators. The guys who brought him to the chop bar, the lady (auntie rose) at the market etc..they all so spoke english...Maybe it was their accent that made it difficult for you to understand but he did perfectly...Also there are so many Americans, Lebanese, Viets, Chinese in Ghana...Visit Ghana you will like. The people are the friendliest ppl in West Africa. And as everywhere being a stranger can facilitate scams just be careful...Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376030351170288376.post-51200681314740180692007-01-22T22:10:00.000-05:002007-01-22T22:10:00.000-05:00Wow!

It was colonized by the english, unlike it's neighbors who were mostly colonized by the french. So it's one less thing for you to worry about if you ever do visit Ghana. :-)Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778017486856380216noreply@blogger.com
