For Dolphin12 - Pro NoPro
[QUOTE=Dolphin12]As far as my exprience goes: at the end of the day the most expensive services are the non pro services. This matters all over the world. Africa, asia and at home. And marriage is the ultimate financial overkill. Go pro or go broke ![/QUOTE]
I disagree with you Dolphin.
Everybody is free to go whom he prefers with, but the choise to go only with pro to save money and to avoid marriage might be a good suggestion for men who are not able to say "NO" to a woman and to stop before it is to late.
If a 'regular' demands for an expansive telephone - as it happened to Hesekiels - just answer with a smile and take the next!
Behave exactly when in front of a market stall the demand is to high: go to the next.
What I mean is that it is silly to fly to a country as Ghana - ticket costs, hotel costs, healty risk - just to go with a pro that one can find behind own house in US or Europe, probabily from the same country we are visiting.
What I like to experience in a country like Ghana is the easy way to pick a regular which is almost difficult in our homelands where everything should be supposed to be offered for free and it doesn't exist.
Do not forget that it is also very easy to fall in love for a professional prostitute and it is not the best thing that can happen to a man!
Of course ... IMHO!
Forgive the dumb question, but...
If required, have any of you had a problem obtaining a visa before entrance into Ghana? I realize some of these nations can be quite slow.
Ghananian Visa and Credit Cards.

From the embassy in Italy no problem.
Visa is issued in two - maximum three - working days on the price of 50,00 Euro.
Bring 3 recent pictures, your valid passport (since visa expires in three month passport need have at least three months validity), your ticket for in and out travel or the data of the car you are travelling by or the ticket of a nearby country in case you don't reach Ghana directly, your certificate of vaccination against yellow fever.
About this last item: vaccination is effective 10 days after the injection and immunity expires in ten years. So visa is issued only during the conclamated immunity period. Take care that yellow fever vaccination is not always available in the "first world" and it might take one or to weeks to get it.
They will demand you about persons you know there - as member Hesekiels reports.It seems to be just a formality. As he suggests have the name of a famous hotel ready, indipendently if you are intentioned to settle there or not.
I remember it was demanded also about my means of support when in Ghana and it was enough to show them my credit card.
IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR HOLDERS OF MASTERCARD.
Mastercard is very difficult to be accepted for payments and withdrawals.
I could cash some money only at the Barclays Bank - manually - and not at any ATM.
Most of the hotels accept Visa only.
Budget hotels accept only cash.
