Traffic!!  
Traffic around Accra is unbelievable.  You might sit for an hour trying to get one mile.  We headed to a restaurant on our last night there after some time shopping at the Art Market. We wanted to watch the sunset from the beach.  It was a short distance, but it took so long to get there that it was dark by the time we arrived.

This is a video from African News on YouTube:



And, any place where the traffic is slow, there are hundreds of hawkers walking between cars and popping their head in your windows trying to convince you to buy what they are selling.

Ghanaian Handshake
The handshake in Ghana is different from the way we shake hands in the U.S, 
                                                                                                        and there is a snap at the end!
