Mun tena yie






Mun tena yie means Stay well in Twi, a Ghanian dialect. So, Mun tena yie Mark, Joseph, Wash, Angelo and all the others for making my stay in Ghana so pleasant.

Last night started at a bar in a colonial building located in the airport residential. Despite the name it's actually one of the most quiet and nicest areas in Accra. Two beers later me, Mark and mr. lova lova (Joseph Glover) went to an Italian restaurant with the ingenious name "Mama Mia". If you're going to Accra and would like to eat pizza, this is the place you want to go. It's definitely one of the best pizza's I've had - and I have a lot of experience on pizza.

The table next to us was crowded with students from the US and Kanada. In the middle of all "hi Bob!" and "that's soooo great" I heard two girls speaking Swedish and Norweigan. A few minutes later, me and Sarah from Uppsala were laughing out loud on how funny it was that we were able to speak Swedish to a person in Ghana. The night ended at a sportsbar called "Champs" where I (a few beers happier) strongly advertised snus as the best kept secret for mankind and that this secret is only obtainable in Sweden.

Amount of victims in my advertising campaign: 10-20
Amount of people trying snus: 4
These people's origin: USA and Canada
