5 things we've learned on the first day of Project

We've arrived safe and sound in Ghana, and with just over 24 hours spent in Accra, we've managed to learn a thing or two about Ghanian culture. Here are the top five things we've learned on the first day of Project.

1) The Ghanaians seem unfriendly but are actually THE NICEST people

To a native English speaker, when we've overheard Ghanians speaking, they seem like they are shouting in full force at each other. But do not be fooled, they are not! We've been helped a lot today by loads of different people and have experienced so much kindness on our first day here - we're really excited for the next three weeks!

2) How, or how not, to get a Tro-Tro

A Tro-Tro is half bus/hald Tup-Tup. We managed to get on a bus that wasn't completely right (the wrong bus) but we had the most fun ever! Everyone was so kind and we kind of wish buses were like this in the UK!

3) The chicken is goooood in Ghana

Mhairi and Alice ordered some superb chicken this afternoon so we have concluded that the chicken in Ghana could be the best in the world. We'll keep you updated.

4) Mosquito nets are a fun way to keep fit

We've come up with some crazy solutions to the mosquito net problem. Judge for yourself who has the most inventive mosquito net hanging!

5) Africa time is real

We've noticed a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the UK. We love how relaxed and chill it is here and how nobody seems in a rush to do everything.
