Another List

Advice for those who wish to travel to Ghana:
1.) Avoid bringing white clothing.
2.) It's better to eat in the dark, that way you can't see what you're eating.
3.) Visit the waterfalls or the ocean
4.) Befriend the children
5.) Try to use the toilet as quickly as possible
6.) Don't bother flirting with the Ghanaian men, they'll hit on you even if you're rude.
7.) Be prepared for "Lights off"
8.) It's probably best not to discuss your religious views with the locals
9.) Ride a "motor" (motorcycle) at least once
10.) Ask the children to show you their dance moves

A reminder

"We must change in order to survive."

I've decided to continue (and update) my blog, even though my adventure in Ghana is over. Here's an article from CNN about Ghana's problem with plastic waste. Access to trash cans are limited there and everybody burns their own rubbish. Many people just throw their garbage on the ground. They don't produce nearly as much waste as we do, but it wouldn't hurt to educate people about the importance of having a clean environment. http://http//www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/06/01/ghana.trash.bags.waste/index.html?iref=allsearch
