Leaving Ghana

Well, I am back to KL for about a week now, been busily preparing for my return to Accra in due course.

I realise I have lost weight as a result of the hectic schedule in Accra and also due to the environment and food and many other factors... Man, do I miss Accra? A few Ghanian friends are yearning for my return already...

While leaving the airport on our return to Malaysia, there was no screening of our luggage but we have to open up in front of the custom officer. I told them I am from Malaysia so they just marked on my luggage and let me through to the check-in counter. The when on our way to the departure lounge, we had to go through a few more "check-points". Officers would ask a lot of funny question like what we did and where we stayed in Accra, finally they asked for "souvenirs" from us. Luckily my passage to the plane was a smooth one compared to Shukhen and Nasri, they had to pay "toll" to the officer.

What a disgusting joke. While in Accra, I met their former Ambassador to the US who told me "not to give anything to anyone" in Ghana if we want to do business there. And see what happened at the airport? This very much resemble to Clark airport of Philippines, the officers there demanded to see our wallet and on seeing our Malaysian Ringgit, they asked one or two for souvenirs...

Anyway, have to get back to work. Will write more when possible.

Cheers!
