My beloved Accra

Accra: the cleanest African town

A view on Accra
Everybody will tell you: coming to live in Accra is a reward for expatriates. The city is very clean and has a micro-climate. You enjoy the warmth and the brise from the sea, but it is not too hot. During the raining seasons, it rains very few times.
You land in Accra at night and you are directly under the charm. The smell of Accra is a mix of sun and fried plantain in spicy oil, with a blow of sea wind.

Accra: the safest African town

I have never felt as safe as in Accra. Whatever reports can say, you can walk everywhere at any time without the fear of being jacked. Accra has the lowest criminal record of the large towns in the world.
It is at the same time very large, more than 3 million inhabitants and very small, when you are there you always go to the same few places.

welcome: you feel always welcome in Accra, it is a never ending entertainment. Working in Accra is being on holidays all the time.

There is no lost time. Each instant is lived intensively, and you don't want to go to sleep because you will loose time.

 "Aquarius" is the best early evening bar in Accra. The owners are very friendly & the prices are not expensive.

 Interesting page, Frederic. That "Haveli Restaurant" brought back memories of a recent trip to India. We stayed in a lot of "havelis". Greetings from Florida
