A QUICKIE PIXER PHOTO POST COMMENT
April 28, 2013
Why, oh why, would a ‘friend’ take a picture of a receipt for electrical goods and like it!? And, by the way, it is NOT ME! Is the person so proud of his purchases that he/she wants to show off? Is the person aghast at how much the purchases cost in comparison to,let’s say, last […]

March 12, 2013
Time to take a small break in the series-I think I might be half way through on theories-to quote a confirmation that my premise, that the Ghanaian government could not care less about the development of tourism, is bang on! This statistic appeared on the Tourism in Ghana Facebook page. The page comes out of […]
