 * Tips from D. Barry (2010):**
 * **Temperature**: The temperature was generally around 27C - 30C during the month. We were in the central regions of the country. The sky was mostly overcast for the first couple of weeks, but not much rain. Pretty high humidity.
 * **Money** - The currency is called Ghana cedis. Approximately 1 cedi = $1.43 US. The exchange rate is better with 50's or 100 dollar bills. Bring newer bills, post 2000.
 * **Accommodations -** We stayed in hotels in each of the centers. They were moderate ( The ones in Accra and Kumasi, the bigger cities, were approximately $100US a night). Cheaper in the smaller cities/towns. The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) booked them for us.
 * **Electricity** - There was electricity available, no black outs while we were there. Need a "D" adapter. We didn't require electricity for the inservicing part of the project, mainly because the teachers would not have use of electricity where they teach.
 * **Standard of living -**
 * **Taxis** - GNAT provided us with a driver although we did use some taxis during our down time. Taxis are plentiful. Negotiate the price before entering the taxi.
 * **Entertainment** -
 * **Food -** The staples are rice, yams, plantains, chicken and fish. The food is spicy.
 * **Etiquette -** Greetings are important. Each person you meet is greeted with a handshake. When you become more familiar with a person then the handshake is often longer and ends with a finger snap. When meeting people in a group, each person is greeted individually.
 * **Teaching** - Teaching Timetable (Team 2009) - [[file:projectoverseas/Ghana - In-service Timetable 2009.pdf|Ghana - In-service Timetable 2009.pdf]]; Detailed list of topics covered in each subject (Team 2009) - [[file:projectoverseas/Topics covered in each subject - Inservice 2009.pdf|Topics covered in each subject - Inservice 2009.pdf]]
 * **Other -** Team Ghana 2011 has put together a fabulous slide show presentation .... 24 slides to help orient you to the project. Wait for it to load! [] Also, see a link to D. Davis-Maybee's (2009) blog on the Personal Sharing page.
