Accra, Ghana: Accra is not only a place for doing business (local or international), but also a location for relaxation, considering the city’s bolstered security and overall peace. This huge city contains many attractions, from the impressive mausoleum and monument to the first president Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah to beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and nightlife at Osu. Ghana’s flagship university is also housed on one end of this capital city while Makola Market, one of the busiest markets in West Africa, sprawls in the city’s center.

    • Lmfaoooo did you just say the famous Kwame Nkrumah circle is Cape Town? ?????Maybe there might be a resemblance to Cape Town but Google Nkrumah circle and you'll know what it looks like.

  • grotesque cathedrals in windhoek? As far as I know there is a rather 'normal' church built on a hill by the german colonialist. This church though is built in a neo-gothic style... but grotesque? And churche(s)?

    • I too thought it was a very poor choice of words and reading the article, seems out of keeping with the sentiment entirely. I believe it was an attempt to make mention of the gothic style, perhaps?

  • I have yet to read a phrase as entirely inapt as "grotesque cathedrals".
    If you're referring to the Christuskirche, I'd hardly describe it as a cathedral, much less a grotesque one.
    And yeah, there's literally only that one church that even approaches being described as a cathedral, so why the plural?

    I take it you haven't been to Windhoek. I wouldn't say this little passage has captured the essence of my hometown at all. Sorry.
