Ghana Part II

Chrisw · January 28, 2012 ·

Here are some more pictures from Accra, Ghana. If the picture quality sucks, it was taken from a moving car through a window. Enjoy.

Street vendors ready to pounce at the toll booth

This was the funniest billboard I saw

Ghana Home Depot. What you don’t see is the furniture and appliances on the side of the road we just passed

“Respect Your Job”

WTF?

Lina bitched that I didn’t have enough pictures of people carrying stuff on their heads.

My training class and reason for going to Ghana.

All of these shirts are official company shirts with the company logo. Many school uniforms look like the two long sleeve shirts.

From the “Stuff Ghanans carry on their heads” series

It turns out the cool building was actualy two buidings

He’s trying to sell a full sized framed painting

The presidential office building

This is the slums

Storms a-coming

This statue was vandalized during the coup that removed the first president from office

Ghanian Presidential museum grounds

The first Ghanian president is buried in the center of this building. Designed with symbolism by a Ghanian architect and then built by the Chinese.

This is shot at the first Ghanan president’s museum.

Things Ghanans carry on their heads – why don’t the individual fruits fall off?

More chickens for Lina

What’s a dressed rabbit?

Now that’s a dolly

These carts were very cool and I never got a good picture. Full size car tires on a cart 4 feet wide and six feet long carries just about anything too big for your head.

This is how all children are carried from what I saw. Just a swatch of fabric tied around their waists.
