2. the best shopping areas
3. the dangerous areas that better stay away from
4. any weekend class, social group/events worth signing up?
5. the must-go cities in Ghana/Africa

You could also refer to the This is Ghana blog on this site as that has a lot of information about Ghana and what to do and see.
