Ghana

[QUOTE=Jazz123]I'm heading out for 5 weeks in Ghana next week. I'll bring cash and Visa card and will be staying in cheap hotels with no individual safes so I'll either have to leave the cash in my locked luggage (which also has an alarm) or deposit in the reception. How does one deposit? I'm not too happy about leaving $2K + passport etc. in a reception, especielly not if the staff knows what it is. Does one get a sealable envelope in receptions or how does it work?

Last year in Madagascar I simply left the cash in my locked luggage except in one hotel that had individual safes and it worked fine - no one touched my stuff.

Thanks a lot in advance[/QUOTE]Given how reliable and available ATM's are in at least the four largest cities, I personally would leave the fistful of hundreds in the bank and draw them out as I needed them. I suppose there are fees involved, but having all my eggs in one basket would make me nervous.

The people there were wonderfully honest and I never felt threatened nor did I lose anything, but that is a lot of temptation. Having a few beers and then crashing with a pro in the room staying all night has to end badly sometimes. In at least two of the hotels I stayed, the night clerk would be asleep on the floor and everyone's keys would be on the counter (Hotel Mexico in Takoradi and Jockstra in Accra) when I came back in during the wee hours.

Folks,
I promise to not post more about this slightly out-of-topic subject, but I finally managed to solve the issue about Maestro and MasterCard in Accra.

Foreward: WHAT IS MAESTRO AND WHY WE NEED IT
Maestro is the debit card of Mastercard (I discovered this only today). If you have the Maestro logo on the card, you can take money from ATMs whereever in the world, at the OFFICIAL exchange rate (plus maybe 0.5%), paying 2-3$ fee, from your bank account without the need of loading the card before.
By far, the most convenient and cheap way to get cash and to change currency abroad. Forget FOREX and hidden envelopes with 2000$ cash brought from home.

WHERE TO FIND IT IN ACCRA
I used the MasterCard locator
[url]http://www.mastercard.com/us/personal/en/cardholderservices/atmlocations/index.html[/url]
and I found that there are a few MasterCard/Maestro ATMs in town. 3 of them are at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle at Ghana Commercial Bank!
I tried it few hours ago before entering Vienna City. It worked fine.
Fellows with a MasterCard can go there too, to get cash using the credit function (warning: +4% fee).

Hotel prices are increasing in Ghana. I've heard that the oil boom in the Takoradi region has increased hotel prices. If anyone gets to Takoradi let me know if Hotel U84 located at Market Circle is still under $20 u.s. per night or has it gone up?

I will have to get my girl in Accra to do some scouting for me since it looks like air conditioned double under $30 u.s. (45 cedis) no longer exist.

Will let you know what I find.[QUOTE=Caddyman]As to current prices in Osu, Binay's is $75 USD. A woman I met up with later in the trip mentioned that the prices had spiked lately. She was surprised that it was 75 and called them and that was the rate they quoted her as well.

Frankie's is now 100 USD per night for a double. Hansonic had a double with AC for $55 I believe, but they stood me up at the airport and were otherwise halfass whenever I tried to call them. I had planned to stay there but it just never happened. That is quite a bit away from Osu as well, although I have heard that it is in an area with some action.

Other Accra hotels that I dealt with were the Hotel St. George in Adabraka. Sort of dingy, but cheap for a very big double with AC--$35. I tried to get there from the Afia Beach and had scouted it the day before, but when I got there the room had been booked and the alternative was so ratty I couldn't imagine staying there.

I liked the Hotel President as well, but when I went there they had no air conditioned rooms. It would have been 55 cedis. Finally in Accra, I stayed at the Jockstra Lodge in Osu and they had a nice room for 50 USD but very basic.

Finding a good hotel was a pain in the butt. With the traffic, you could spend a couple hours just driving to one, get out and look at a room, it would suck, and then you would be back in the taxi to look for another place. Changing rooms became virtually an all-day deal sometimes. If you are staying in Osu or Adabraka and can walk from one place to another, you can avoid the traffic, but walking around in the heat with your crap will drain you.

There really is no substitute for boots on the ground. I am sure there are plenty of affordable places but it really is word of mouth. Even knowledgeable cab drivers would go to some hotel they were recommending and it would be closed, or no one around or booked. Having a local connection developed online can help in locating hotels although then she will know where to come looking for you.

Other cities had better hotel options. In Kumasi I stayed at the Kumasi Catering Guesthouse and it was very nice. Great grounds, open air restaurant there, big room with a lot of privacy for 60 cedis, although I think that was a special rate given me because a friend of mine there was related to the owner or some such thing. I think the usual rate is 80 cedis. The hotel right next to Vienna City in Kumasi was 75 USD for a double and would have been convenient but I really wasn't into that scene. I like to go to bars crawling with hookers, but I am not sure I wanted to sleep next to one.

In Tamale I stayed in a house so I don't have any hotel information there. I stayed at the hotel in the Mole park and it was 60 USD as I recall.

In Takoradi, I stayed at the Hotel Mexico and it was okay at 45 cedis, but three times some staff would knock on the door and then immediately try to come in the room. I had the door locked, but it was not cool so I left the next morning. I stayed then at the Star hotel down by the central market. That place was great. I had a massive room with a wrap around balcony with reliable AC and a good toilet for 45 cedis. I stayed there a week and would have stayed longer.

That's about it for hotel details.

A lot of recent postings have been on hotel prices and ATMs, useful but not that interesting. What about women?

Attached reminder from this week, Linda from Volta Region. No pics from others recently.

SO8[/QUOTE]I have been using this site for many years when visiting different places (thanks to everyone!) and it has always been very helpful: I think this is my time to provide info. I have been living in Accra for a few months, hence a few tips that should respond to the most recent posts.

1) It is very easy to find a girl here, just a matter of a few minutes if you go to right place and do the right thing. Girls are not always that beautiful (Dakar for example is a better place, but you have to speak French), they tend to be a little short (to my taste), but on the whole you can find some sexy ones!

2) Taxi drivers are not very useful, some do not know the city too well.

3) Here area few places where to go:

- Macumba (mostly pros, but I have found a few nice ones), a good start (entrance: 10 GHc, approx $7. 00); Macumba is at Danquah Circle, so if your hotel is in Osu you will be able to walk (it is safe).

- The area around Macumba "warms up" after 9:00 pm, you may not even need to get in the club, there are also girls around in the street. Look around the circle as well.on the other side, there are always several girls after 11:00pm.

- Jokers: a 4 GHc (maximum) ride from Macumba / Danquah Circle: an other club, the girls are a little classier than at Macumba. A good choice for some one in town just for a few days (entrance is also 10 GHc).

- On Thursdays (and only Thursdays), you may go to Bywell, a bar in Osu (the other end of "Oxford Street" from Danquah, opposite to supermarket Lara-mart): good music, and a few pros + mostly some semi-pros. Went twice, never left alone.

- the bar at Moonsoon, on "Oxford Street" also attracts girls (there seem to be mostly pros)

There are other places, but this is fine for a short stay, or to start with. Note that clubs are open until very late.

And you do not need to walk around in the heat during the day to have a wonderful night! Things can be done very quickly!

4) Smile to girls you encounter: it sometimes works, in the street, in shops (got an offer the other day when I was in a supermarket by one very cute saleswoman, she was in my bed two days later.).

5) Remember Ghana is poor: there will always be a cost attached, either a sum agreed beforehand (pros), or a gift (semi-pros: some money "for taxi", that is then an expensive one!, others will ask you some money for shopping / gift). On average, a NICE night should not cost you more than 50 GHc($35).

6) A local cell phone is the key to everything: having the number is the promise of a nice time. They often call you back, you even do not have to do it!

7) On other practical aspects: yes hotels are getting more expensive, there is inflation in Ghana (15-20%); for mastercards, a good alternative to Ghana Commercial bank is Stanbic Bank, a S-African bank, apparently no problem with them.

Enjoy Accra!

Hi Mongers,

It's me, I have a contact of a girl in ghana. She is an out right pro that hangs out in danquah. I have her number on me if any one is interested. She is young, thick bodied (not fat), light skinned black girl. I am sorry I can't post her pics here online but if your interested in getting a hottie for relatively little money let me know or pm me. This is not an ad it just a chance for mongers to get a rare opportunity to fuck a nice bird, with nice sized natural tits and ass. And who knows maybe you will be luckier then me and maybe she will let you take hot photos.

Thanks

Hi,

Listen to this story,

A friend of mine gave me the number to an SW in Adabraka. So I decided to check her out. She charged initially said it would only be 30ghc for the deed. i agreed and then preceded to pick her up. We met at around 11.00 in front of wakiki. she got in the car and i took her to a quiet location to have a quicky. i couldn't afford to take her to a hotel because i didn't take that much money seeing as she said it will only be 30ghc. so she gave me bbbj and a small fuck then i gave her money. She then demands i pay 70 for time. i said no and she tried to make a scene. i got away but when i get back i get a call from her saying she knows my number and she will get the police to track my tigo sim for stealing. i hang up. I thought she was bullshitting but do i have something to be worried about and do i have to change my number? I didn't think ghana police or any company in ghana could could track mobile numbers. please let me know. cheers.

[QUOTE=Master Yoda]I didn't think ghana police or any company in ghana could could track mobile numbers. please let me know. cheers.[/QUOTE]

Unless you registered the number, the police have no way of finding you as they don't have triangulation equipment. The best they can do is to get Tigo to advise them of which cell area you're currently in.

For the police to do anything, the SW will have to file an official complaint. Then she has to convince a cop to do something about it which will cost her money (unless of course she is fucking a policeman). Then the police has to get a court order to get Tigo to do anything.

The chances of anything happening is next to nil so there's nothing for you to worry about.

Now if your number is registered in your name, she will still have to go through all of the above before Tigo will release any information to the police which is highly unlikely.

Besides all this, prostitution is illegal in Ghana so even if the police catch up with you, as soon as you explain the situation, that is you met a nice girl, had a good time, fucked her, and gave her 30 cedis for transport, nothing more will happen to you. The girl certainly can't admit that she was fucking you for money as then she will be arrested.

If something does happen, PM me and I can help as I have lots of friends in the police dept.

MY:

an old trick to squeeze more money out of a foreigner! Brother, you have no idea in how many cases these bitches succeed!

However, great that you did not overpay! It goes without saying that even for LT 70 GHC would be too much! GC is right, do not worry and relax! Be assured that nothing will happen!

Cheers!

I was scared man. She just wouldn't get out of my car so i had to man handle her out then she kept screaming and said she'd call the police and how they would visit my house etc. Luckily as soon as she got out i locked the door and took off like a bat outta hell. got home to a few drinks and went to sleep. I got one missed call off her and didn't answer. This is just a crazy girl.

I have decided to switch off my cell and use another sim for awhile.

There was a huge storm here a few nights ago, lights on and off repeatedly and hours of heavy rain. I had dropped this girl back to Osu Sharpnet just before the downpour hit. She had come on to me. Personally, never had a problem with pick-up to my car so it's bad luck for those who have. Guess we should be careful.

OH, YEAH!!, this happens, happened to one of my friends, scared the living shit out of him, and he claims he didn't even shag her. LOL !!!

A nice 20yo girl weighs about 95lb, loves to give BJ's and the taste of cum, can deep throat, fucks like crazy, a gusher, has minimal pussy licking experience but wants more, anally willing, cooks, cleans, irons, very honest and faithful, disease-free, has a 4yo daughter, is looking for a new live-in position with a nice, fit, strong (without medicinal aid), British, Australian, New Zealander, or Canadian man preferably under 50yo.

You will need to provide live-in accommodation for her and her daughter, monthly stipend, basic necessities, an occasional night out, and regular servicing. She will provide whatever your heart desires.

Current owner leaving town in April. For more information, please PM the undersigned.
