Hello,
My husband went to Ghana with a client who is originally from there. He said there are people who are either very rich, or very poor. Due to the poverty most houses have metal bars across all the windows to stop the crime of theft. Supposely it can be very dangerous if you are not with a fellow Ghanan. There are nice hotels and then just regular ones. My husband was considered "different", little children would come up and touch him due to the fact they rarely see white people. He also said they were shocked that he could swim, that most Ghanans don't know how. Another very common practice is the wealthly Ghanans have more then one wife, and mistresses. There are Ghanans that live in the United States with a wife, but then also have a wife in Ghana. The woman would not leave him alone, they kept trying to get him to move to Ghana and marry them. They eat a lot of fish and a certain soup that you scoop up with a bread - like food. Everything goes in the soup, the whole fish and many Ghanans eat the bones. They wash their hands at the table (bring you little bowls of water) and don't use a napkin. You can get food on the side of the road, they will hold up freshly killed animals, or fish and put them in your car window and try to get you to buy them. I personally saw the pictures and it looked dirty/unsanitary to me. My husband brought his clothes back and told me the ladies washed them for him. I of course rewashed them and when I put them in the water, the water got so dirty it was almost black. (They hand washed them). My husband said that they people were very nice and it was an experience but he would not go again. I myself being a clean freak and seeing the dead animals do not have a desire to go and see for myself. I hope that this info helps.
