Hi Bambara! Thank you for your reply! It is very helpful information! It is inconvenient to have to travel to different places for each service but it is always better to do that and to get the best quality services. Is there someone who is known ... Read More
Affordable accomodation in Accra by itznat
Hello everyone, I will be living in Accra for five months as an international volunteer and I'm looking for affordable accommodation. People have told me to go to accraexpat.com and I was shocked at the prices (definitely over my budget). ...
Hkann, You don't know my definition of rich. Your assumption that you DO seems very ignorant. Read More

There is NO justification for discriminating against foreigners who are in Ghana by inflating prices. The prices should be the same for the same services and the same items. What if Africans came to America and were told that the same houses were ... Read More

Hi Itznat, I am glad you could find a place! There is definitely a mindset that you will encounter that foreigners should have to pay inflated prices for everything. I do not understand that mindset but it exists. Many people assume that if you ... Read More

Hi Itznat, Oh gosh. That is a rip-off and there are plenty of Ghanaians who are living in houses for that amount! It is not true that all the Ghanaians who are living in housing that is costing 300 GHC to 500 GHC are without running water or ... Read More

Thank you for responses! With power being regularly turned off for so many hours, I will assume that keeping foods in a freezer will not be practical since the food will thaw and have to be thrown away or else all of it cooked right away. Thanks, ... Read More

Hello Abokobi, Thank you very much for mentioning that. Is the house a guest house? What are the daily rates? What are the weekly rates? Does the house have internet connectivity? What about a water tank? What about 24 hour electricity? Thank ... Read More
