No Lights? Ideas Below.....

We all have our coping mechanisms for when the lights are off. A few suggestions of Locations and Activities are listed here and staying late at work is certainly not one of them!

Do add in what you do or what ideas you have for coping so we can all have a wider range of options to chose from when the lights are off.

These are listed in order of preference ofcourse:

  • The Scoop Icecream Palour at A&C Mall - In addition to fat free, lactose free scrumptious Soy ice cream, avid Scrabble players troupe here to release steam over a board. And ofcourse cool off with a wide range of chilled drinks. I highly recommend the Tropical Rythms Regge Medley fruit juice.

  • INet Internet Cafe at A&C Mall - You might as well get online FAST and communicate. And there are chilled drinks on sale.

  • Lounging at Tulip with a dear friend - Try the fruit punch while you are at it people watching. Or turn your back to the crowds and curl up with a cold drink and a book.

  • Opps! - Instead of sweating in bed alone at home, you might as well do it at Opps! at Bubuashie to some real good music. I know it's a small space but between 11pm and 12.30am you have all the space you may want. And after 3pm you can do splits without hurting anyone but yourself.

  • The Carribean - This is a newly opened Carribean Restaurant in Osu about 4 houses down from Dynasty Chinese Restuarant. Great great to die for food if the food critics are to be trusted.

  • Monte Carlo Bar, Games and Restaurant at Labone - This was pleasant surprise and I had a good time too. And its the season for pomp and glitter so go and have a good time. And you will not have to take your bank along with you.

  • Golden Oyster Restaurant in East Legon on the A&C Mall road - Great atmosphere, good food and a close look at the planes as they fly over to land at the airport. Some have even called it romantic!

Any add-ins? Post a comment!
