Can’t say much a out the food itself, but I’m sure eating next to that sea view must be wonderful. If I lived in this area, I definitely would hang out here in the evenings to relax if they allowed it. I love sea and beach views, even though I’ve technically never been there.
Need to get more of those steps in, man. Would be a shame if aside cards, your inlaws beat you at sport too😂

Its relaxing and calming by the sea! Don't you have quite a long coastline in Ghana including Accra ? Are there resorts and places to visit?
LOL if drinking whisky was a sport, I'd have no chance but anything involving actual physical exercise, I'm always going to be a winner!
Just as an aside, all you need to be an English teacher in Thailand is a BA and a decent TOEIC score!....
Oh yes we do. But until last month, I’d never been in Accra before. I’ve spent all my life in the North where I was born, and my part of Ghana is absolute void of sea or any beaches. Closest to a sea we have here are large dams.
This picture here is the closest I’ve gotten to the sea. My sister’s husband took me on a ride by the sea when he noticed I talked about it almost all the time when I visited them in Accra last month.
There are several! But like the sea and beaches, they’re all either in Accra or close it. I’ve seen some very beautiful resorts and tourist sites in travel blogs that I want to check out. But as of now, that’s the closest I’ve been to resorts.
Haha okay, big man.
Thanks for this information, man. I’d love to teach in Thailand! Thailand is a beautiful place with some of the most beautiful places to visit. I follow this Ghanaian that teaches in Thailand on social media and I just wish at his content. He’s even married to a Thai woman and they have a kid!
I’m sure I’ll score well if I took the TOEIC. But given that I have a Bsc In Biochemistry, I’m not sure I’ll fit for an English teacher. I’m more of a science Teacher. And if I ever get the opportunity to teach a science-related subject in Thailand, I’m taking it ASAP:)
If you get a formal teaching qualification to add to that Bsc, you'll be straight in as a candidate for the big international schools, and they pay top dollar! You'd be better qualified than 90% of the foreign 'teachers' here. It's seriously an achievable goal for you mate. Get a year or two of experience under your belt then go for it. Join the Thai teaching and expat groups and ask questions. :-)
Alright. I’ve been considering get a post-graduate diploma in education (pgde) in case something like this ever comes on my radar. Since I’ll be teaching Biology for the next 2 years, I think the experience part will be ticked.
Do you have any Thai teaching and expat groups you’d recommend I join?
