I have recently started a job in Ghana (West Africa) as a Sales Manager for a company involved in supplying consumables to the mining industry.I promised myself that I would join the world of blogging so my friends and family could see what I was up to. So here is where it all starts.
To be honest there has not been much to write about so far. I could tell you all about Ghana itself, but you can just search Google for that information. This blog will be about my experiences and what I come across from day to day.
I first came to Ghana in 1996 and the one thing I have noticed is a difference in the roads, there is now a highway going from Accra to Winneba! In the 90's this road was treacherous! This road forms part of the Trans West African Coastal Highway or TWACH, the leaders of 15 West African states have signed an agreement to build a 4.560 Kilometer highway from Nouakchott, Mauritania, to Lagos, Nigeria to boost trade between the nations of West Africa.
Now bear in mind that parts of the proposed highway still look like this:
Thank you Robert Grossman!

This is the proposed route (in blue).So, thats the end of my first blog input, OK it wasn't very exciting but it was a start! I will update my blog as often as possible, hopefully twice a week!
Remember to comment!
Bye for now,
Jeremy.
