When you come on Sundays in our project, we hear from afar that this day will definitely not be quiet. Drums, loud vocals and organ sounds: A normal Sunday service, which can sometimes last for about five hours.
Ghanaians are generally very religious. In a Christian church service is sung danced and celebrated, as well as at weddings and funerals. Such events are sometimes extended to multi-day festivals, then a funeral quickly once celebrated three clock at night and sometimes not just the one time
not only at weddings will be good and we like to celebrate, dance and laugh, but also to weekends, in principle, it is considered as in Germany. However, there are some significant differences in the definition of going out.
We go away on Friday evening. Our Ghanaian "contact person" we recommend the "sweet pub. We climb into a taxi and head down there. On arrival: estimated 50 simple plastic tables plus chairs outside, loud music in the The normal range encountered Hiplife (mix of reggea and hip hop), a bar inside a building and a large banner reading "sweet pub" decorated with flashing lights.
Some people dance in front of their tables, we drink and talk. As we sat down comes the first locals and will build our tables, this is it, then later, after the table after several break-up of an estimated ten people still can not be assembled and finally the waiter to be called to 'support. The usual questions: How hot where we come from, what we do as long as we stay? The
later it gets, the more exuberant and danced and celebrated, it will be allowed to make beer showers organized as a birthday tradition, what we are witnessing up close and.
Another example of the weekly parties, the Ghana Club against a clock, as in German clubs, come to most people. The club costs for common conditions much Entrance: 8 Cedi (4 €). The interior of the club is reminiscent of Western standards, or at least Western clichés are true: as leather couches, disco balls, bar stools - all very elegant-looking. Who has never been in a Ghanaian club should, with wind chill temperatures accountable to the freezing point, the air conditioning plus fans run at full speed, but this can turn out to the wee hours as pleasant. It is danced on hiplife and hip hop, I feel the whole atmosphere and the music like on a 80's party.
also be found in the audience, as in all more expensive equipment and apparently many white non-Ghanaians.
In summary, the Ghana Club definitely an experience worth, even though unfortunately not the traditional way of life, but is rather a representative to the West reminiscent of life.
unusual is it that despite the relatively late party on the whole, however, quickly again is over, to less than four clock, the light is on and the last "Love Story" played.
On the evening taxi rides, and generally soon lose seven people in a standard taxi rank. Not only be interesting but also ordinary taxi fares due to unforeseen incidents, such as engine failures, in which you push the stranded vehicle as a passenger on the busy roadway needs.
Life is exciting.
