Red wine in 30 plus degree temperature

I went to a tasting of the Beaujolais Nouveau last night at the Novotel Hotel. A rather lavish affair, with respect to the spread of food that was laid out.

Gooey soft cheeses escaping their moulds in the thirty plus degree temperature, charcuterie, bread and of course the famous Beaujolais wine.

From Zero to Hero!

I am not on Facebook, I do not have a  Twitter account, I don't know what Instant Messaging is all about and as of this morning my preferred methods of communication were sms (no abbreviations or short form for me either) and email. To some, I am a 'technology philistine', but truly I was having a hard time keeping up so I just didn't get started.

Now, I have a blog! I happened upon a great website about a year ago when I was trying to connect with other South Africans living in Ghana and attempting to get an idea as to what my impending life in West Africa would be like. It has taken me over two years to join their online expat community and now here I am...a Blogger!

What am I going to blog about? Observations of my daily life in Accra, or wherever my wanderlust leads me. I am also looking to provide information to other expats who are thinking of, or are in the process of moving here. My experience a year ago was made easier by a Ghanaian friend that happened to be living in Johannnesburg at the time - but not everyone has that friend or acquaintance with first-hand information that can make the adjustment to a foreign country so much more pleasant. Hopefully this may be it:-)
