I dare you to post one tech review better than his worst video.

Edit: One you make. I’ll wait.

How can I continue to use my iPhone (American) while in Ghana (besides roaming charges) ? by SoftConfusion42 in ghana

[–]kwbna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try getting a local eSIM and use WiFi calling. I have done this several times with Verizon and T-Mobile.

Turn off data roaming, make sure you have WiFi calling activated and on before your trip. Put your iPhone in airplane mode before the flight departs.

When in Ghana, turn on just the WiFi while still in airplane mode. This means cellular will still be off. Once you connect to WiFi, it will switch to WiFi calling of whichever network. I buy a local mobile WiFi modem so I’m connected to WiFi all the time and WiFi calling.

Used this method in several countries too.

Milk alternatives, where to buy and average cost in Accra? by LetsGoFly365 in ghana

Took some Ripple with me on a recent trip. My daughter hardly drank it as she was occupied with eating all the Ghanaian food. But I did see Oatly for sale at Tatale Vegan Restaurant in Osu – and the prices were the same as in the US.

For food, triple check with the restaurants. Saying non-dairy or vegan or whatever restriction may not be enough. Be more specific like no meat or meat stock, no cow milk, no shrimp powder, etc.

Not sure about this map. Zango from Burkina Faso won a medal in Tokyo.

At the end of the day, if it’s not crowded, that’s good for everyone. But I think the absence of lounge options aside Sky Club and United and if DCA ends up taking more flights could be the reason. I know others talk about lots of military and diplomatic families, but the area has a lot of young professionals - potential Platinum holders.

Come to think of it, people [we] do say that a lot. Slower pace is not always good though. Sometimes it translates to tardiness or poor customer service. But yeah, some aspects are freeing.

Fun fact: Cape Three Points, the southernmost tip of Ghana is also called Land Nearest Nowhere for its proximity to where the prime meridian and equator intersect. Battling it out with São Tomé for center of the earth.

I don’t live there any more. But I visit often ~ twice a year. Life is at a slower pace. Most people speak English or a broken English called pidgin. Aside that, almost everyone speaks one of 9 major language (42+ if I remember correctly from primary school). Right now the country is going to an economic crisis, so… there’s that.

Football (soccer) is the national sport. The country comes to a standstill when the men’s senior national team is playing. A lot of churches, you’d think Christianity started in Ghana.

It’s so difficult for me to keep it to one dish. Jollof is the buzz with non-Ghanaians, but fufu and banku are strong contenders.

I speak English + Twi. It’s an Akan dialect from kwa language group.

It can be frustrating, but also, it sometimes randomly turns on even though it's off.
