dry fish and chicken stew





what's with that?

So it's over. we went out tonite and the minute we got there, it was like, he wanted to leave, so i decided i would. Got home around 2.00clock. He did not show up till 8a.m. Next thing i knew, he was telling me about these two ladies he met, i was cool with that. Next evevning, he would go out to dinner with friends. He calls me at 11.00p.m. to meet uo for a drink only for me to hear there that he had been to dinner with one of the ladies. Some woman walked into the bar, he immediately walked up to her, so i respected myself and left. He comes home, got on the phone at 2.30a.m. talking to his internet girlfriend in thailand, So, i went into my room (no lock, as is common over here) . He ends his phone call and comes into my roomto tell me how much he loved me and he wanted me to come sleep in his bed?????? Na wa o! It's good this is europe and the criminal justice system works full force otherwise!!! What's up with that? am i in some parallel universe?

anyone out there living in ghana?

I will be moving to ghana in a few months. I intend to stay for a minimum of 2 years. My questions are, should i bother staying in accra since i think it is too expensive? What is the average amount of money i can expect to live on in a month?
Does anyone have reasonable accomodation? Tema, Cape coast, or accra (if affordable).
I have an 11 year old son as well, so a good school in the vicinity is necessary

Who can tell me more?

After hectic and worrying years. I have decided to move to Ghana for a few years. Only problem is, i was there for the last, 10 years ago. Convinced things have changed. I have researched on the internet and come to the conclusion that Accra might be too busy/expensive for me.
So whither o whither? Tema, Kumasi, cape coast, Tamale? I would love to live near the sea, in a spacious home where i can grow a few vegetables, and maybe keep some chickens and but also not 400km. from Accra which i would still like to visit from time to time. In addition, I do have an 11 year old son who requires a good school.

Can anyone out there help?
