Looking for connection by Rsvp2k
I am visiting Ghana in few months for just visit and I am looking to make some local connection and know about the place. I am also interested in traveling around Ghana. Any recommendation you folks may have? Would much appreciate any help you can ...
Well for starters you did well, however I hope you did not rent (book) a car for the entire period (a few months you said?), unless you got a good transferable deal from your home country. Rentals in Accra are pretty hefty, because there is no ... Read More

You have to be a little specific about your basic interests, you also have to at least have an idea about certain attractions and concepts about how Ghana is portrayed through internet search. If you express a serious desire this way, you will have ... Read More
Cost of living in Ghana - 2017 by Priscilla
Hello, Before moving to Ghana, it is important to investigate the cost of living in the country. As we did in 2015, we give you the opportunity to share your experience and tell us more about products and services average recorded prices in ...
Cost of living in Accra. Generally speaking it is extremely cheap to survive in Accra. For a US expatriate if you convert every purchase you make into dollars, you'd find things are reasonable, you only find yourself paying a little more for the ... Read More

My 9 year old attends Association International and I can guarantee that it is probably the best international school in Ghana based on administrative management and quality of education and your child's social wellbeing. Although you have the ... Read More

2 years ago I started a research online to relocate my kid from an American School system to Accra. I was able to follow up with the ground work to all the above schools. You may trust my opinion and personal experience, but Association ... Read More

Speaking Twi in Ghana by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Twi is essential for a successful integration in Ghana. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Twi? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in ...
Your response is sound and subtle, but not withstanding the fact that it is not unilaterally accepted that Twi is the lingua franca of Ghana. There are many Southern indigenous people who do not accept this premise, based on the historical fact that ... Read More
In retrospect, would you move again to Ghana? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Ghana, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
There is truth in everyone's comment, incidentally I am a native of Accra, born and bred, when I was growing up in Accra the population of the country was about 8 million and surging, I doubt that Accra was over a million. Life was pleasant, ... Read More
fast moving vehicles Muslim funerals by Mitzee
Last week my family and I were dangerously ran off the road by a procession of fast moving coaches and large vehicles. Literally physically pushed off road by a large vehicle. What is the criteria with this? Seems massively dangerous and ...
The only appropriate part of your comment is admonishing Mitzee about the broad sweeping title targeting a specific religious group, but I don't think your attitude about people having to accept the status quo is a healthy response. I hope that ... Read More

I was about to make a similar comment but then I read the first response. If you'be been driving in Accra for just one day, I can bet you have encountered similar or worse situations from the general public. All of these activities are illegal, ... Read More

I don't know what it is about Ghana, but it just seems like everything is designed to fool you and take advantage of you. I have tried shopping for a washer dryer unit at Palace and Melcom too a while back, and these sales personnel are amazing. ... Read More
