Hi all
I'm currently living in Dubai and my firm is sending me to Accra, Ghana on a 6 month contract. I just wanted to introduce myself and have a look at the various discussions and topics to get all the info i need.
It would be great to hook up with other Brits as well any other expats as i know very few people there outside of colleagues based there.
I think im gonna need to do A LOT of adjusting when i arrive! 
Best

Hi,
Not sure how Ghana compares to Dubai but I moved here from HK in 2010 and despite really enjoying the life here certainly miss the convenience of life in HK. Everything is here in Ghana it just needs a bit more time and effort to find it!
There are a lot of Brits here. I am one although I have lived outside the country for such a long time now I am not sure where I really belong! The British High Commission has a club called Grasscutters which holds events from time to time. You can see them listed on accraexpat.com.
Hope you enjoy your time here. Most people do.
