Hey there 
,
How you doing ALL? Hope everybody is doing great!
I am an Indian guy coming to Ghana shortly for some IT work there.
I'd appreciate if somebody can give me some good tips here. The lifestyle there and what kind of safety measure are there etc.
I saw that the local currency is Chedi but all the house rents were posted in US $. And that too $1200 for a house!! I used to pay that much in California Bay Area which is one of most expensive states!! But the USD to Chedi conversion rate is 15K Chedis. I am confused!! ???
Plzzzz guide me. You can reply back on my below mentioned contacts.
Appreciate your cooperation.
Best Regards,
Raj.
