Oh my god the world is full of beautiful places that we need to see. My personal hint is: Cape Point (and Cape of good hope). It is the southernmost point of the country South Africa and you can see the awesome amplitude of the oceans. Such an peacfull picture. I think there is so much more to see than only 5 places.

]]> Comment on People and Culture in Ghana by Noelhttp://wingstoafrica.com/people-culture-ghana.html/comment-page-1#comment-338 Noel Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:52:25 +0000 http://wingstoafrica.com/?p=580#comment-338 Dear independent traveller, I like your website and its full of useful info, I just wish I read this and not the lonely planet which has been pretty useless for me during the last 3 months as I travel through West Africa! I wanted to inform you of a tricky situation that travellers will expeirence from the Ivory Coast to get to Ghana. The Ghana embassy in Abidjan, Ivory Coast were adamant a few weeks ago that I should have abtained my visa in the country that I am resident in and not the country I am coming from as of the 1st Jan 2010. I explained that I was unaware of this as I left the UK in Nov and there was no way of me knowing of this change in the Ghana embassy requirements. No matter what I said I could not proceed and I got very angry and virtually abused many of the staff in the embassy for their lack of thinking outside their own administrative box, then a light turned on above me and I asked who can get into Ghana then and a guy told me only residents of the Ivory Coast. The next day I paid a local £5, and after visiting a local police station I was then given a residents permit (had been living here for 4 months). Took this to the embassy, not one hint of suspicion by the same person that I was calling an idiot the other day and I got my visa. This is quite serious and luckily I got through, I would urge you to let people know of this situation to avoid any further bust ups in the Abidjan Ghana embassy.
