Comic Relief

July 6, 2008 by KChie 1 Comment

Comic relief though billboards today. I bet you didn’t think you could get red red, fried rice, banku & stew at your local TakoBell!

If after gorging on fast food, you wanted “to have a flat tommy”, you could join the Dzorwulu Keep Fit Club every Sunday at 5:30am.

Waste management is a term Accra needs to get familiar with.

Our old home in Teshie-Nungua Estates has been taken over by the odour from the nearby supposed incinerator which has instead become a large garbage dump.

According to people in the know at Korle-Bu Hospital, a lot of people in that area are coming down with typhoid fever. Am I surprised? So imagine my surprise when I saw the garbage collectors.

Another look. We think we have a problem with articulated trucks? Let’s just pray that the colossal garbage truck that we know of in the States don’t make it unto the “roads” of Ghana.

Cute!

And finally a reminder.

And another reminder of the final resting ground of countless tyres from around the world.

    I cannot believe this! This had me crying my eyes out with laughter 😉 my promise is to fix as much of the garbage mess as I best possibly can with all the help I get! I am soooo going to do this!

    As for the roads, I am hoping the public transportation program will nail it; ghanaians do not know how to drive! And even after the arrest if about 1000 or more taxi drivers there are still casualties on our roads: the state of the cars and the people in them….
