anna_mirDo you know, how they call Ghana? "Africa for beginners".
My dear friends,
I was outside of the office finally, have visited the center of Ghana’s capital, Accra.
What can I say..
It was incredible. I couldn’t even imagine how many people live here; and how many of them are on the streets and in cars at the same time as me.
There is colossal traffic here actually; and they drive like they don’t worry about their cars, lives and rules completely. Exactly like they go across the streets between cars. Really fast, I’d say. I have no idea, how they manage it, but magically everything goes well.
Oh, these women with different types of goods on their heads! If anybody told me about it, I’d probably not believe them.
But step by step:
First we went to the huge market; hard to describe. Everybody sells everything. Thousands of parcels and bags with all kinds of stuff is available there; from live fish to drugs.
If you need to buy something, just come to this market. I’m pretty sure you can buy a magic carpet there if you are attentive enough.
Then we drove to the art-center, it is well-known here. I saw many nice handmade souvenirs, made from wood and horn, but salesmen are very persistent there.
Afterwards we went to the shore. You know how I’m crazy for it; here it is unbelievably wonderful. Almost nobody is there on the beach, no annoying music, no this kind of constant sound of thousands of visitors, you know. Only me and the ocean.
Summarizing;
At first, all this chaos under this heat looks terrible. But half an hour is enough to see a well-organized structure. This is just the way things are done here.
People look really friendly and positive here. Honestly, they look like they never have our “best-selling” depressive and burn-out syndromes.
And if also to take into account almost free and unthinkably tasty coconuts and pineapples, which you can buy on various corners, I’d say I found a kind of heaven on earth.
