I spent a few more nights in Accra. I think I mentioned this before but the backpackers is in a remote almost outer suburbs part of Accra, meaning their is no modern building, restaurants or supermarkets near by. This is great if you want to save money, as all you can eat is the street food, which I like. Plantain (which is like a bananna) is very sweet and you get it with every meal. They also eat alot of cassava. Another insteresting aspect of Ghanaian life is they are very religious. Nearly every store has a religious name, for example: 'Jesus is our savior internet cafe' or 'God is great hair dressers' or 'Please forgive me Jesus fast food' anyway you get the point.
Yesterday I spent most of my day on a bus traveling from Accra to Kumasi. Kumasi is near the center of Ghana and it is famous for being the home of many Ashanti people. The Ashanti people had a large and powerful empire in West Africa before colonialism (for more info refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashanti) I expect to stay here for 3 days. Anyway I am off to see the Museum
