Ghana Memories

1. The Ghanaian handshake. Snap. Kool krah.

2. Highlife, Hiplife, and Azonto.



3. Almost all business and vehicle names including Christian references. (Our van was named "The Holy Spirit".)

4. The amazing ability of women to carry huge loads on their heads while also carrying babies on their backs.

5. The smooth sound of Ghanaian English. Aaah haa.

6. Ghanaian's enthusiasm for soccer. They are ALWAYS watching international soccer on TV.

7. Lots of bottled water.

8. Banku and fufu.

9. Being called obruni ("white person" or "foreigner"). 

10. Garbage. Unfortunately, it's everywhere.
