I was in Ghana last summer for two weeks and had the best time of my life. So, I’m just gonna put it out there…when I was in the markets and someone wanted to sell me a bracelet for 50 cedis, or about eight bucks, did I sweat it and say, hey I’ll give you 25? Hell no. I gave him or her the 50 cedis and we laughed and joked about it and I felt good about it. Do you honestly want to deny giving someone an extra few dollars? Tourist dollars are low now, and food prices are going up. I love Ghana!
Rick, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment champ. Never want to deny someone a few extra dollars, especially if they deserve it. However, learning the basics of currency exchange and negotiating are vital to those traveling for the first time. I love Ghana as well, thanks so much 4 your support!
The seller joked and laughed with you because they ripped you off. LOL! Slashing the price in half method is exactly what my Ghanaian husband uses when bartering prices. I am all for people making business/sells but definitely not by ripping people off. Once you peruse the market and you get what the average rate is for particular items, you know what price range to work with when bartering. Some sellers will drain you dry and won't think twice about it while you are out of money.
@@CI3306 Hi. You're right I guess. He ripped me off for four or five dollars. It's okay. Maybe this year I'll bargain the sellers down more. But whether I do or don't, I'm sure I'll still feel that connection. I still love Ghana.
@Rick Bunte I actually agree with you. A lot of these places rely heavily on tourism. I make it a point to shop at local markets, and I don't haggle prices either. I pay what they ask gladly and don't mind if I'm not charged the same as the locals because nine times out of ten, I'm in a better financial position as the locals being a tourist.
@@latoyascott1147 waw that’s a really nice way to analyze the situation. I usually add a few extra dollars to the road side hawkers. They go through so much yet remain positive and strong. But yes your right tourist are sometimes in a better financial position than the citizens so not be kind. Usually if you ask for a discount they’ll give you a discount as well.
wats up brother !! that's beautiful you had a chance to live in ghana for a good amount of time! the fufu is pretty good lol .. was there a reason why you left and do you plan on going back?
Ghana is the best place on mother earth 🌎... I am from Lebanon and I am sooo crazy about Ghana. The people are just amazing. I know you guys will definitely love it here
Yes I just come from Accra, Kumasi and cape coast. My Ghana 🇬🇭 trip was amazing. The African drums, the kente cloth, the freshly made food,the glass beads made exclusively from Ghana river clay. Learning about tribes and kings. I love Ghana so much
So glad to hear you had an amazing trip! Tons of culture to soak up while visiting! I appreciate your support and thanks for dropping by to leave your thoughts! Stay safe & blessed my friend ✨
Im from Scotland I was living before in Ghana 🇬🇭 for a long time .About 20 years .I really I have good memories .Nice people and very delicious food 😋.
Hey Sean that's certainly a good amount of years ago! Do you have an idea of when u plan on heading back? Yes my friend, a ton of things have changed, I'm sure ud b happy with the progress 😎👌🏽
Hey Cassandra 😊 thx so much 4 leaving a sweet message! Honestly I think ull luv it when u visit! Plan on going ne time soon? Glad u found value in the video! Talk 2 u soon 💜
@@cassandrajade4968 that's my time span too honestly lol 🎯 maybe we'll get some 🔥 collabs going and put some Ghana content on ur channel 😎 💥 stay connected with me via IG
Love that first point. It's not just about "give me the information I need, thank you." It's "let me get to know you and understand." Because that evokes friendship. What a fantastic aspect of a culture, if you think about it.
Hey Champ! thats exactly one of the first things i noticed and appreciated about the culture! To connect with someone goes much deeper than a general question, if we adopted this theory im sure we'd have a few more laughs and heartfelt moments on the regular! Appreciate you big time buddy !!
I love my Ghana so much. The culture, the bargaining skills, how fun the people are, the food and above all, our very own almighty GMT 😂. Life in GH is pretty laid back and i love it. No rush. Good job u guys. Stay blessed, till next time ✌🏾🇬🇭🔥.
Hey Ama, when you put everything into perspective it is all pretty exciting and memorable! haha @ GMT, we were told this by a local so we ran with and had to put it on the Top 10 List !! Makes me smile to know your familiar with it as well 😎🇬🇭 glad you enjoyed and can't wait 2 see ya on the next one !! Thanks again
Ghana maybe time is so accurate. You gotta appreciate the culture's lax approach to timings. People stop and do things on the way and see friends and will stop and chat. They don't do it because they don't respect you but because that is just their way of life. I remember being in a bar with my local friend and a guy on his way to perform errands saw us and he stopped and had a drink and a chat for 30 mins with us. So he definitely took a while to get to his original destination.
Andy wats up 🙏🏽 I appreciate the culture and think its healthy to have good relationships with others .. so him stopping 4 a chat and a drink is exactly what I would do lol .. thanks 4 the story and 4 your support! It's much appreciated 💯 talk to ya soon!!
I was in Ghana in January. I loved it. I stayed in an Airbnb in the Embassy area. It was safe and beautiful. The people are super nice. Everyone I met gave me a gift.❤Ghana🇺🇸
You forgot to mention that you need to get a local sim card and it needs to be registered. You can bring your own phone but you can only use WiFi in limited spaces. For some reason it takes a long time to get one
Just a white guy from north Alabama here. Love the video guys. Looked y’all up after seeing videos about electronic waste being scrapped in Ghana. I wanted to see a more positive side of the country as knew there had to be one. Great video!
Hey MsTrini thank you for showing some luv! We appreciate your thoughts & comments! So glad you had an amazing time there, make sure 2 come back to the channel soon!
I have a sponsor child who lives in Ghana, and I really hope and plan to visit her one day. Ghana seems like such a nice place, wow. This video was super helpful so I can prepare whenever the time comes around, thank you guys!! (:
Hey there new friend! That's awesome you're connected to the mother land and helping out those who need it! I'm paying it 4ward by learning about the culture and passing it on to those who need some assistance! I certainly hope that you can visit soon and experience all the great things there are here to explore! Stay in touch 🙏🏽
Lol. You better visit soon and make sure your money is actually benefiting this precious child. Unfortunately, there are MANY scams attached to this "sponsor" business....Its's pretty disgusting....even most of the missionaries are crooks....Dont believe me? Research it.
This is exactly what you would do in Thailand for example. This is not about denying someone a few extra bucks. It is about realistic prices compared tp average monthly income in that country. I have been many times in The Gambia where the average salary is about 60 EUR which is around 4000 Dalasi. So if a cab driver asks for 400 Dalasi fora just one 10 minute ride, this is obviously way off. (locals would pay around 100) but often take a shared taxi for 35 Dalasi).
Well said my friend! It's def about learning the way of local wherever you are .. if foreigners want you to embrace a culture fully then it makes sense to know the ropes and how not to get taken advantage of. Giving to others usually occurs when you travel. Thanks for your thoughts, hope to see you back soon!
Hello brothers and sisters I am Ghanaian proud African, l am grateful to see that Black Americans helping people to know what going in Ghana, for almost 40 years I been saying to Ghanaians that Black Americans are the chosen ones , I am so proud of them, JAH Guard And proctor them. JAH Blessings
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Joe you need to pick up some Ga as well. All the words you’ve picked up are Twi/Akan. May be we can link up some time. Nice work guys 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Well, Ete-sen. Yes landmarks for days, thats IS a pro tip. oh ok thats awesome to negotiate everything at the markets. I will rub the mosquito coils on/in my body. great great share guys Medase
All great points and applicable to all of Africa. For example greetings is super important in African cultures cause we believe as humans you acknowledge the next human.
I love you guys,can y’all also talk about Accra traffic? And it’s will be nice if y’all can do Q&A on your own time. Although I am living in Frankfurt Germany 🇩🇪 but I am enjoying your videos and lastly try and go to country side see the sense of community there
Stephen what's up my brother !! Appreciate you for taking the time to support and connect with us 💯 Your feedback is 🔥 & needed !! Ok i'll take a few of your points and create some content around them. We certainly have some videos outside of the city coming real soon !! Again, thanks fam, talk to you soon! 🔥🇬🇭🔥
Yo Caes !! The things we have on a day to day basis we def take 4 granted at times in the States! Having unlimited wifi is everything until you dont have it. The country has so many beautiful parts about it, have more to show bro, u already know the vibes! thanks homie 💯
My name is H. Richard Dozier, I currently reside in the Houston, TX area. I will be visiting Ghana in August for 33 days. My Ghanaians friends here and in Ghana are so excited about my visit. I hope to see you when I arrive.
I love your video you are collaborating very well . Each of you know when to come in when one is making a point, without disrupting too much the speech of the other person. Great work done guys
Hey family 🙏🏽 thanks so much 4 ur nice comment 😊 Joe and I have known each other for over 20+ years so we work well together !! Appreciate you 4 noticing and finding value in tha video ✌🏽
Takoradi in Ghana is the new hub, 2022! Travel to Ghana during Christmas or any other time to Takoradi which is in the Western part of Ghana, and you're gonna feel the vibez!!!!...no long talk!
Very useful. I lived for a year in Ghana 32 years ago, pre-internet, pre-ATM. I'm about to go back in a few days and looking for how to navigate it in the 21st century.
Yes yes yes !!! WiFi and Mosquitoes, wish you guys posted this two days ago. These mosquitoes definitely greeted me with a brutal Akwaaba to my back and arms. Great video guys!!
Loretta whats up 😂 so the mosquitoes got to you already huh, oh nooo !! trust me i had my fair share of "where did all these bites come from" moments !! U have to grab some Rosemary oil like the one in the video and some coils while your at it too !! How was your flight and everything, did you fly Royal Air Maroc?
@@KelsAcosta it was actually this hotel I stayed in, after complaining enough times they finally sprayed the room. Aside from the mosquitoes I really enjoyed my time here.
Family wats up!! Greatness is waiting for you, it'll def be the adventure of a lifetime! Hope you get to visit and see it all for yourself soon! Thanks for the support 🙏🏽💯
The reason why we are late to appointments is for humanitarian reasons; we do things off our schedule, which will definitely go against our time schedules.
Hey Maa thanks for the confirmation!! We felt like everything on this list was worth knowing 4sure! Hahaha and thanks for your sense of humor when it comes to GMT, a lot of ppl miss the joke and are ready to correct us lol.
Great exposition. Greetings definitely important. I'm Ghanian. GMT ew call it Ghana man time. Everything you said about it is true. I don't entirely agree with the negotiations. I know most times prices are raised because you are a foreigner but sometimes people are truthful so dividing a price into half may be taken as an insult.
Jemima thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!! Happy you enjoyed the video and found value in it. This episode was created to spread knowledge and awareness, its ok to agree to disagree. Only positive vibes here 🙏🏽
Thanks for all the helpful information about going to Ghana. You two have good energy in conversation and relating your points! Enjoyed your delivery 😀.
About the greetings part, Ghanaians always start with good morning/afternoon/evening, not even with how are you. Hello and hi, are NOT DONE. I'm surprised you didn't address that. Also you could have mentioned to not hand over or take anything with your left hand. Ghanaians consider that to be very inpolite.
Hey great topic and well shot video. One thing--the music is way too loud relative to the voices, so it was distracting and hard to hear you guys. Still gave it a thumbs up though.
Akamatsu appreciate you 4 watchin brother!! Which points were challenging to hear? I can certainly fill you in if need be. Thanks 4 the feedback and 4 your support 🙏🏽💯
Ghana maybe time is taken to an extreme when it comes to doing business. It's really hard to make progress when the timing of transactions is so loose. That could explain why a lot of projects, including public infrastructure, don't get finished.
Greetings,please and thank are very important. It doesn’t matter if you give us the world. You got to do these 3 else it means you don’t respect us. Good tips 👌🏽
I love that it’s so polite- medase- Ghana maybe time- That’s incredible!! If my gps doesn’t work- I’m lost 😫 Im a terrible negotiator - 😂 good info- cut it in half! Great tips guys! Yes to wifi!!!
Lol all these tips have been certified 😎👌🏽 u wont believe how stressed I was after taking 3hours to get to my Airbnb smh lol .. life lessons I'm happy to pass along K 🙃🙌🏽
I just found you guys. Hit the like & Subscribed. I am still in the US. This is going to be my last year here. I will continue to follow you guys. I am a clothing designer, I will be hitting you up before entering Ghana. Love what you are doing. Thank you so much. Blessings Up.
coming out there this December haven’t been there in over 15 years so good to refresh my head with all these lol. Dope video hope I see y’all around somewhere.
Flee wats up family 🙏🏽 that's a long time, but im sure the trip will be amazing! Glad I could help you get back in the Ghana state of mind lol .. Joe is there and Im considering coming back in Dec again as well! Stay safe fam 💯
The video is old but given valuable information. I'm planning for Ghana this Christmas 2024. I was looking for tips because it would be my first time. Your tips are very helpful. Thank you ❤
Yes now you know a solid 10 tips you have to start making plans for your Africa trip lol .. Negotiating is always easier said than done, but once you get in there and try it, you get better with each attempt 💯 lol @ your brain being on GMT, sometimes thats all you want on vaca, to move at whatever pace you feel comfortable! Thanks queen 4 slidin thru as usual 🔥😎🔥
Ghana has been nothing but amazing!! So much to see and do, i'll have to make another trip back to document more of the experience! Thank you my friend, hope to see you back soon!! 😎
The same in Philippines, rural areas you have to stop and ask where a person address is. Usually extended family in town can tell you the address. Not like US where you have a street and house number and you know exactly where you are going.

Ghana 🇬🇭 is beautiful place I really appreciate the share I would’ve Never knew
Yo Caes !! The things we have on a day to day basis we def take 4 granted at times in the States! Having unlimited wifi is everything until you dont have it. The country has so many beautiful parts about it, have more to show bro, u already know the vibes! thanks homie 💯
It is really a beautiful place. Representing ✌🏽
Good people as well it seems.
My name is H. Richard Dozier, I currently reside in the Houston, TX area. I will be visiting Ghana in August for 33 days. My Ghanaians friends here and in Ghana are so excited about my visit. I hope to see you when I arrive.
Hello Dr. Dozier! Thanks for stopping by the channel, did you arrive to Ghana yet?
@@KelsAcosta I spent the month of August in Ghana. I look forward to returning.
I love your video you are collaborating very well . Each of you know when to come in when one is making a point, without disrupting too much the speech of the other person. Great work done guys
Hey family 🙏🏽 thanks so much 4 ur nice comment 😊 Joe and I have known each other for over 20+ years so we work well together !! Appreciate you 4 noticing and finding value in tha video ✌🏽
Takoradi in Ghana is the new hub, 2022! Travel to Ghana during Christmas or any other time to Takoradi which is in the Western part of Ghana, and you're gonna feel the vibez!!!!...no long talk!
Chris wats up brother 🙏🏽 Takoradi is the place to be? Ok cool I'm gonna keep that in mind 👌🏽 thx 4 your support and the suggestion!!
From Nigeria looking to migrate to Gh, is Takoradi good with foreiners and how much is house rent?
@@fabianeze6803 Takoradi has all the potential to grantee you a safe visit. House rent is cool and affordable. You're gonna love the place.
The politeness is in every culture it's just that people don't do it it all depends on how you were raised
That part 🎯
They are just like my people in Grenada - moving to the US was a culture shock for me when ppl did not greet each other with a good morning etc.
Where in the US do you live now?
I will visit Ghana June 2022. I started my fund recently.
Ohhh nice Paul!! I'm excited 4 u bro its gonna be an amazing time! Will u be going to Accra?
Paul. Me too!! Safe travels
July 2022.
Super helpful. Going to Ghana for the first time today and can’t wait to experience it😍
I'm leaving for ghanna in 3 we3ks and I'm so nervous! Tysm for this!
Hey Abigail, hows your trip going so far! Plz keep me posted
Very useful. I lived for a year in Ghana 32 years ago, pre-internet, pre-ATM. I'm about to go back in a few days and looking for how to navigate it in the 21st century.
Wow Jack that sounds like an amazing experience about to unfold! Thx 4 sharing with me 🤟🏽 lmk how ur trip goes!
Yes yes yes !!! WiFi and Mosquitoes, wish you guys posted this two days ago. These mosquitoes definitely greeted me with a brutal Akwaaba to my back and arms. Great video guys!!
Loretta whats up 😂 so the mosquitoes got to you already huh, oh nooo !! trust me i had my fair share of "where did all these bites come from" moments !! U have to grab some Rosemary oil like the one in the video and some coils while your at it too !! How was your flight and everything, did you fly Royal Air Maroc?
@@KelsAcosta it was actually this hotel I stayed in, after complaining enough times they finally sprayed the room. Aside from the mosquitoes I really enjoyed my time here.
Mosquitos goes with the weather the cannot survive in cold weather
I'm going for the first time so excited
Hope you have an amazing time, let me know how it goes friend! ✈️
I grew up in Ghana n live in the US now, and these tips are definitely useful/ helpful. Good job guys.
Nana thanks so much for your approval sis .. means a lot! Glad you enjoyed 🙃
Hello
Sounds like CP time. I guess nice to know we inherited this timing style 🥰
That part lol
From The US, Hooefully I get to see the continent one day. For myself and those before me. Great video.
Family wats up!! Greatness is waiting for you, it'll def be the adventure of a lifetime! Hope you get to visit and see it all for yourself soon! Thanks for the support 🙏🏽💯
The reason why we are late to appointments is for humanitarian reasons; we do things off our schedule, which will definitely go against our time schedules.
You guys are bang on with your list. Totally agree 😆. Loving the new meaning of the GMT.
Hey Maa thanks for the confirmation!! We felt like everything on this list was worth knowing 4sure! Hahaha and thanks for your sense of humor when it comes to GMT, a lot of ppl miss the joke and are ready to correct us lol.
No bitterness toward other countries, nationalities or races. Useful information. Great video!
Thanks for watching my friend!
Ghanaians and our “please”!
Yes please lol .. thx 4 watchin friend!
Everyone that comes from Ghana is a good negotiator. You should always do that when buying anything to reduce the price.
I 100% agree .. negotiating is a must every and anywhere!
More Americans need to see this video
We def agree queen lol .. glad you enjoyed the video and got some value from it! Hope to see u back on the channel soon!
I completely agree about bolt/ uber giving you an idea of taxi prices
Yes it is the best way to determine a fair price! Thank you for watching friend 💖
Ohhh I truly want to visit Ghana!!!!!
It will be the trip of your life! Set it up Cheryl!
Planning a trip with my family in February 2023 so thank you for this.
Hope you and the fam have tha most amazing time !! Make sure to check out my other videos for fun stuff to do in Ghana!
Great exposition. Greetings definitely important. I'm Ghanian. GMT ew call it Ghana man time. Everything you said about it is true. I don't entirely agree with the negotiations. I know most times prices are raised because you are a foreigner but sometimes people are truthful so dividing a price into half may be taken as an insult.
Jemima thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!! Happy you enjoyed the video and found value in it. This episode was created to spread knowledge and awareness, its ok to agree to disagree. Only positive vibes here 🙏🏽
Clove oil is good for mosquito too and the coil is not healthy to inhale. Great tips.❤
Hey Heather! Thank you for your support family 💖
Thanks for all the helpful information about going to Ghana. You two have good energy in conversation and relating your points! Enjoyed your delivery 😀.
Judy thanks so much for your comments, they mean a lot! Glad you enjoyed, paying it 4ward is so important. Thanks again for watching and supporting! 💖
Thanks for sharing.Very informative. Visiting in a couple of months.Can't wait! So excited.
Hey Ernestine! Hope you have an unforgettable trip! 💯
About the greetings part, Ghanaians always start with good morning/afternoon/evening, not even with how are you. Hello and hi, are NOT DONE. I'm surprised you didn't address that.
Also you could have mentioned to not hand over or take anything with your left hand. Ghanaians consider that to be very inpolite.
Thanks for watching Romana!
Thanks!
Thank you my sister for your support! It really helps to keep creating fun & informative content 🥰 🙏🏽
Hey great topic and well shot video. One thing--the music is way too loud relative to the voices, so it was distracting and hard to hear you guys. Still gave it a thumbs up though.
Akamatsu appreciate you 4 watchin brother!! Which points were challenging to hear? I can certainly fill you in if need be. Thanks 4 the feedback and 4 your support 🙏🏽💯
I love your negotiating skills. That is really true.
Experience is the best teacher! Thank you for your support my friend 💯
Ghana maybe time is taken to an extreme when it comes to doing business. It's really hard to make progress when the timing of transactions is so loose. That could explain why a lot of projects, including public infrastructure, don't get finished.
That's a very interesting point my friend, thanks for adding value with your comment!
GMT is like CPT aka Colored People's Time. We also call it the African Factor lol! Great video.
The african factor lol nice one 😂
Greetings,please and thank are very important. It doesn’t matter if you give us the world. You got to do these 3 else it means you don’t respect us. Good tips 👌🏽
I'm all about the greetings, so that was an easy adjustment for me !! Luv 2 connect with ppl at all times! Thx 4 some of these tips friend 😎🙏🏽
I’m subscribing off the fact u dropped a Khruangbin tune at 4:00 . Peace and blessings
LUV it! Thanks for noticing fam, appreciate you being assertive and leaving a comment! #respect
I love that it’s so polite- medase- Ghana maybe time- That’s incredible!! If my gps doesn’t work- I’m lost 😫 Im a terrible negotiator - 😂 good info- cut it in half! Great tips guys! Yes to wifi!!!

The video is old but given valuable information. I'm planning for Ghana this Christmas 2024. I was looking for tips because it would be my first time. Your tips are very helpful. Thank you ❤
Many thanks for the travel tips! Negotiating is always a bit of a challenge...I think my vacation brain forever functions on GMT. 😊
Yes now you know a solid 10 tips you have to start making plans for your Africa trip lol .. Negotiating is always easier said than done, but once you get in there and try it, you get better with each attempt 💯 lol @ your brain being on GMT, sometimes thats all you want on vaca, to move at whatever pace you feel comfortable! Thanks queen 4 slidin thru as usual 🔥😎🔥
Great content gentlemen. We’ll be there soon & hope to see you around. Blessings
Hey Letra .. thanks so much 4 finding the channel and enjoying yourself 😎 cant wait 2 c ya 🙏🏽 make sure to come back soon !!
@@KelsAcosta Absolutely .
Visiting Ghana next week 😍🙌🏻
Are you excited for your trip? ✈️
Kels hope you enjoyed your time in Ghana
Ghana has been nothing but amazing!! So much to see and do, i'll have to make another trip back to document more of the experience! Thank you my friend, hope to see you back soon!! 😎
The same in Philippines, rural areas you have to stop and ask where a person address is. Usually extended family in town can tell you the address. Not like US where you have a street and house number and you know exactly where you are going.
its getting better but u guys should have talked about the power issue..popularly known as dumso
rc thanks for watching and supporting! its much appreciated family! on the next one, we'll make sure to address that!
I love the number 8 #GMT Ghana maybe Time waw! We will change our attitude okay.✅🇬🇭
Wonderful. I joined. Wish you succeed.
Hey new friend .. thx 4 joining the family .. excited to share more adventures with you 😎🙏🏽🔥
Glad I came across your channel. You both kept a smile on my face and I've learned 3 new words and their meanings. TY
These are all great tips! I definitely would want to know about every single one before visiting Ghana!! Good looking out!!!
You like have to Moe! All these are ones we used almost daily! In some cases we had to learn the hard way lol .. but now u dont have to 😎👌🏽
I appreciate it@@KelsAcosta!!
