Storm in Ghana







We have a new site www.g-lish.org where you can read all articles from This is Ghana in a much more organised fashion. Read Storm in Ghana there.

This awesome storm front hit recently. Everyone ran for cover. You can see many half-finished buildings all over Ghana. I've been told that this is because people build as they can afford the materials, and at least establish ownership over their land. If they don't put something up, even just four walls, someone is likely to come and build and claim it as their own. So, that's why there are unfinished buildings pretty much everywhere throughout the country.

Stormy weather

I captured these photos when a huge storm front hit a few weeks ago. Run for cover!

Currency and money in Ghana

I found a couple of useful links that might help familiarise you with the Ghana Cedi before arriving.

The first one is from the an official government site regarding the redenomination of the Cedi in 2007. It shows the new notes and how to translate it from the old currency, still quoted on the street. Go HERE for that link.

Here is a currency converter that includes the Cedi!!!

Clap for Oanda!
