Akwaaba!

Akwaaba is the first thing you see as you arrive in Accra - it's all over the walls of the airport. Welcome, in akan - one of the many local languages of Ghana.

It's also the only local word I know so far except for cedi (which is the local currency)(pronounced seedy)(it also means cowrie shell, which I expect was the original currency).

So awkaaba to Africa! And akwaaba back to the blog which has been so shamefully neglected in the last few years.
