Comments on my blog

Dear All,

I got comments from some friends, which is very encourgaing indeed, unfortunately I haven't learnt how to create the link and respond to the comments. Hope can improve on this in the very near future.


So I just respond the comments here...

Monloh and Mag:

I arrived Accra, capital of Ghana on Monday 12:30pm local time (we actually started our journey from KLIA at 2:30am Monday 18-August morning) while you people are fast asleep at 2:30am Tuesday morning. We gained time but lost our sleep, so I got jet-lagged for the next 3 days or so... Now the biological clock seems to have adopted to the local conditions but then it's time to head back to KL in a couple of days; I will be leaving for KL on Wednesday 27-August 5:30pm and arrive KLIA 9:25pm on Thursday.

Ghana basically can only be compared to the early 60's of Malaysia (or Kuching to be precise), that's my personal opinion. People here are quite friendly but at certain instances the way they speak, it's hard to capture what they said due to their pronunciation.

Things are relatively expensive here as they repegged their currency against the US Dollar. 1USD = 1.45 GHc (Ghanaian cedis). I stay at Holiday Inn, which I think is only rated 3 stars max but the room rate is at USD250 per night for a standard room! Mineral water is at GHc3.00 a 1.5-litre bottle, which is equivalent to RM7.32!!!

I haven't got time to explore Accra yet but I mamaged to go to the Art Centre and bought a traditinal short, which I yet to learn its name...

You might wonder how some Africans got the name of Kofi... Kwasi... This is due to which day of the week they were borned. I am called Kwesi here cos' I was borned on Sunday. Food are OK to me even though I have been very selective about food.

So much for this time, hope you all will keep up with my blog.

Take care.
