Ghana Nightlife

Social Life

by Paul-linus

SOCIAL LIFEVisiting plays a key role in everyday life. Friends and relatives visit one another frequently, often unannounced, and appreciate the visits of others. Ghanaians work hard to accommodate their guests. On a visit to someone’s home, it is considered polite to bring at least a small gift for the children. In some homes visitors are expected to remove their shoes upon entering. Refreshments are usually offered to guests, and it is polite to accept. Visitors are generally welcome to stay as long as they wish. It is polite to avoid visiting during mealtimes, but an unexpected guest is normally invited to share the meal. Visiting is most popular on Sundays, and many people like to dress up for the occasion. When a visit is over, guests are accompanied to the bus stop or taxi stand or given a ride home. It is impolite to let them leave without an escort. Though European-style dress...

Ghana Film Institute: Movies in Ghana

by sarahandgareth

The Ghana Film Institute is the place to go if you want to see some locally-made movies, but don't expect a multiplex-style cinema. There's air-conditioning, but it's pretty primitive otherwise, with crammed rows of uncomfortable chairs, and the movies are projected onto a fairly small screen with a video projector (there aren't any actual cinemas in Ghana these days). The movies themselves are low-budget, but they tell you lots about what's important to many Ghanaians, and it's great fun to be in an audience which participates so actively, commenting on the activities onscreen, often tut-tutting loudly at bad behaviour, and laughing uproariously at jokes that are totally incomprehensible to the average outsider! Many Ghanaians will dress up to go to the movies, especially here, which is a more upmarket venue, so make an effort to be neatly turned out, not scrubby in t-shirt and old...

Check out Champs Sports Bar - remember, you're only travelling the world to get drunk in other places.In global terms, it's not unique, but that's the point. To my knowledge it's the only such place in Ghana - a little oasis of home. None

by Ralphy-boy

The hippest place at the moment (mar2002) is '@the office' inside the Ring Hotel complex. It's just a little after Paloma on Ring street. Sports Bar just behind Paloma and Ryan's pub in OSU are a good place for the first beer in the evening before going to the parties. Indigo seems to be a good place to dance with a clean crowd.
