I was born in Ghana and
raised in the US. When it was time for me to come back I’ll admit that I was SCARED. What I was expecting and what I got were two different things.
I was shocked to learn that everything I could get in the US I was able to obtain in Ghana, even if it was at a higher cost. Everyone had their own cell phones. Traffic was here too (cars good, traffic not so good).

Riding in my cousin's car, my eyes were open wide to the sites she was pointing out as the latest song by Rhianna played on the radio. Joy
abounded.
My phenomenal cousin introduced me to an internet cafe and I almost fell out. Computers, in Ghana for everyone to use? Imagine? Boy was I backward thinking about the country.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that all of Ghana is technologically advanced, but the country has all of the creature
comforts that I had gotten accustomed to in the US. A person only needs to know
how and where to access them, since I am a fast learner, I had no difficulty
finding what I needed. And it’s getting easier by the day.
I hope I have shown you a
little piece of modern Ghana. There is more to learn. Did you know Ghana was
like this?
