And after 3 weeks out of town in Liberia and Sierra Leone, you gotta love it more. In both these countries there are power outages so it's just like home. But here in Gh there is some semblance of scheduling even though residents in East Legon will beg to differ.
And in Gh there are street lights unlike in Liberia where driving is out of this world. Everyother driver must have gone to a different driving school. Its a simple issue of : get to your destination no matter what, who and how. Switch over to Accra ; dual carriage roads, streetlights, swept roads, collected trash and no groups of youth and men hanging around on the streets, then you gotta love Gh.
So when we are complaining, let's keep in mind that although we are ages behind the developed world, we are also eons ahead our compatriots in the developing world.
And Gh is changing so fast, its hard to keep up. I got to Shell to buy petrol after 3 weeks and the attendant asks : Super or V-Power? What is V-Power?
I politely ask him : What is the difference? and he says : 1000 cedis. Well that surely tells me a lot. That V-Power fuel is within my price reach! As to what it does for my car, now that is another issue. Unleaded fuel vrs leaded fuel. Hmm someone else do that explaining.
Makes me wonder what else would have changed the next time I get back from a trip. Sundays will be workdays?
