Ghana Travel




Ghanais truly a beautiful country that is located inWest Africa. If there is one thing I know for a fact aboutGhanais that this country is rich in history, culture and undefiled nature! Traveling toGhanais an experience that you are sure to remember for a long time – I know I do!
From my experience, Ghanaians are warm and friendly people, there are also quite curious to know about your life and to tell you about theirs. When you walk on the streets ofGhana’s capital,Accra, you will feel as though, you are in a really big outdoor market as you are sure to see hawkers selling their wares off the top of their heads.
During myGhanatravel, I visited a lot of sites, but the tourist attraction that would ever remain fresh in my mind is the Slave Castles. In the past, these castles were used as slave stops. I took a guided tour and said to myself, why anyone would ever think that it was cool to own another human being is beyond me.

On myGhanatravel, I noticed a lot of things that would love to share with anyone who may have plans of traveling toGhanasomeday.
Although Ghanaians are very friendly and warm, it is important that you understand that westerners are viewed as being quite wealthy than they actually are. Due to this, I found myself in situations where the locals tried (and succeeded) to con me into giving them money. I also learned a valuable lesson; even your buddies may attempt to guilt you into loosening the purse strings. Hey, I did not take it personal (neither should you) just try instead to see things from their own perspective.
If you are a woman traveling to Ghana alone it would be a really good idea to tell the people you meet on your Ghana travel that you are married, even if you are single, as advances and even proposals from Ghanaian males are actually more common than you may think – my single female travel-buddy from New York City got about 20 marriage proposals!
Another thing I learned on my Ghana travel was how to bargain. The locals usually charge higher when they know that you are a foreigner, so I had to learn from my Ghanaian pal, Kwesi, how to beat the price down. As soon as learned how to haggle, I got to save a few Cedis (the local currency) in the process – yay!

The Great Wine Regions of Tuscany

Image
Italians have long had a history of consuming and producing their fair share of fine wines. From the luxurious bottles of Brunello di Montelcino to the inexpensive bottles of Chianti, the Italian  region of Tuscany  produces several predominantly red wines that are ever so pleasing to the palette. Tuscany is Italy’s third most planted region and yields primarily the Sangiovese grapes, with red wine accounting for over 80% of its wine production. Most of the production comes from the Chianti region that produces over 8 million cases of wine per year , while the Brunello di Montelcino region with its richer and more intense wines produces only about 333,000 cases annually. The quality standards of all Italian wines are controlled and classified by the government. A  DOCG classification  (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) is the highest standard guaranteeing the origin and blend, while DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a less restrictive...
