English/rates and stuff..
English is the way to go as a rule. French is usefull for those into the delectable Morrocan dishes.
Tates:
Local: cedi 150, 000 or thereabouts < usd 20 / all nite long.
* international cuisine: usd 50 - usd100 depends st. usd 100 - usd 150 overnite. available stocks: moroccan, prc, ex-cis
* I have quoted international cuisine because some mongerers here are into "variety".
The above are Accra rates. The other hot spot is Tema. Being a port/industrial city: rate are marginally lower.
Even then, there are good odds, I'd say 40% chance of freebies.
Where do you find them? Anywhere and everywhere. Being white (obroni) or foreigner or having loads of cash and a flashy car is a sure fire ticket to some pussy. No need to go out of hotel.
Best place: those university chicks from Legon. Hunt them at on the run outlet at Legon Rd on Fridays for some weekend fun. Or, if you have a car, pick them out in the university itself as they walk around. Its that easy. LOL
All in all, remember. supply outstrip demand. Its a buyers market!
Any expats here in ghana intested in pack hunting. Buzz me.
Shangri La, White Russians, etc......
I remember the Shangri La well, and in fact stayed there for three months in one of the little bungalows. I really liked the place, but was surprised at the prices quoted here. Granted, I have not been been there for four years, but I had a deal for $1,200 per month with breakfast included. I wonder if the same kind of bargain is still available with enough persistence.
Aquarius is the only place I ever picked up a white lady in Accra, when I did one of the Russian ladies that frequent the place. It was an excellent night as I recall, but I did not go back for more. There's just something about the local lasses that's too hard to resist. I always found the Moroccan places a total rip off and, though I was inside the clubs several times, was never tempted to take out one of the ladies. The proposed cost was ridiculous and the quality was not nearly high enough to justify the asking price.
:D
