Ghana; anyone been?

#

Started by EclipseDeLarge

I’m curious if anyone here has been to Ghana; which part and what did you think of it?

I’m going there to do a journalism placement so I’m looking for personal opinions and what people thought of it?

I’ve got a mate who did a Journalism placement in Ghana about 5-6 years back - she came home with a wide variety of tropical illnesses and the Ghanaian equivalent of Gary Lineker. No idea what the place is like though sorry.

One of my near colleagues was sent to Ghana two years ago on one of our sponsored corporate ambassador programmes , she helped setting up the marketing and IT for a hotel.
She enjoyed it a lot and did some humanitarian work on the side as well while she was there. Still needed unfortunately.

On a side note , one of the things that stuck with her was the popularity of Guinness in Africa.
Seen her pictures and the place seems to be feel of huge billboards that ’ Guinness Brings Out The Black Man In You ‘.

I would ask her to PM you with some hints and tips but she’s off on a sabbatical to Australia at the moment. Lucky bitch ;)

A lot of African Guinness is brewed in Nairobi and tastes nothing like the drink from Ireland. Or, indeed, like something you’d want to drink…

Brewed in Nigeria afaik.
They send the stout over from Dublin with the water extracted and the Nigerians mix it with a local lager and sell it as Guinness.

Just trying to imagine what the stomach would have to endure in the morning after a night out on that stuff over there.
