Posts: 126[QUOTE=The Greek; 1459669]You are aware that there are no street names in Accra. Except onGoogle Maps (it works perfectly) and in the old town by the sea. Eg see High Street.
In the last 2 weeks, street names have been stenciled on the walls of every street in Takoradi, some of the weirdest names though.

Who do you thing will become a bigger expense for you to 'maintain'?
My experience is that normal Ghanian girls specially if you chat someone on a street or in the market are a bit modest and shy, but this is Africa and fuck is fuck. You only have to treat them nicely and with respect. BTW there are scammers. And as much as I hate to say that, avoid Nigerians.
If you don't feel like chatting up girls on the go, then prepare a good list with girls from AfroIntroductions. For me that has been the best site for Ghana.
The alternative to Ghana might be Gambia. There almost (sorry but this is my experience) you can fuck anyone. In a week I have my 2 chamber mades and a few female security guards. Of course with pay or gifts. I never left the hotel for sex- just for food. But Ghanians are 1000 times more pleasant than Gambians, Accra is very safe and people do not tend to steal or pick pocket you as it has been my experience with the Gambia.
I am thinking now to try Uganda and / or Cameroon.
Have a great weekend.
PS:there are 2-3 unsafe areas in Accra but you will not find them easily as a tourist. I am planning to prepare a report on it soon.

Keep in mind that taxis have lots of competition from the mini-busses (well van-like buses) that usually charge between. 7 and. 8 Cedis for a distance that taxi will ask 20 and accept 5 cedis.
BTW, there are also shared taxis, for example if you go from the Mall back to your hotel in Accra or in Tema. Price is usually 8 to 1 Cedi per person.
Hope it helps. Otherwise go to Ghanaweb (very complete business section) and look for car rental companies. Keep in mind most businesses use cellular numbers, they don't use voice mail and they don't pick up immediately (you need an exercise. In patience sometimes).
Good Luck

Posts: 112Street Workers in Accra: Lapaz
Lapaz is one of the neighboorhoods of Accra. Basically you can go there from the Mall on the George Bush Motorway toways Cape Coast.
The 'show' starts usually at night. To go there disctrictly ask for a taxi to take you to Abrantee (pronounced Abr'anchye meaning Gentleman in Ga) a well-known restaurant with live music in the weekend. Sometimes Abrantee performs himself. I like it.
There are 3 'pockets' of street walkers. When you are outside from Abrantee you should go straight across the street. But you can't because of the highway. In your left (having Abtantee behind you looking at the street across) , within 4-5minutes walk is the Lapaz bridge. Go cross it. If you go down using the left straicase you will see the FIRST pocket of hookers between all that refreigirator junk. Can't miss it. They tend to be shy.
If you take the right staircases of the bridge then within a minute walk if the street. There are no street names. Turn obviously left. You pass the swoarma / pizza restaurant, the citilink restaurant and a few meters later (only on that side of the street) you will see hookers- the second pocket of them. As a second reference point, they are in the corner before the Phantom Hotel. These are the hard core professionals and they will probably speak to you. There areusually 10-30 of them there.
The third pocket is in you do not go left on that street and you continiue walking parallel to the highway. After the all-purpose covvenience corner store, the side walk turns into a little hill and within a few meters on your left is a small area like a small parking lot full of women who obviously have no reason to be there except. You guess it!
Now real prices: expect to pay 15to max 20 Cedis for a quickie. 30-40 Cedis max for a whole night. Please believe this: if it's raining and thus no customers, you can have a quickie for 3 Cedis and a whole night just for her cab fare to her house (10 cedis max). So, find out how good really are your negotiation skills!
Good Luck guys!

As soon as you combine materialism with a large unemployed class, you're going to get prostitution. Unemployment is increasing. Materialism is increasing. Population is increasing. Prostitution gots to increase.
