Ghana and all its glory

Hello everyone,
Well. . . I've finally made it to Ghana after detouring through UAE. It was fantastic. My first impressions of Ghana? I like it. The moment you step off the plane you're hit with the thick moist heat flavored with smoked fish, spices, and a sprinkle of ocean mist. Its hard to describe in full detail and can either be daunting to a first time traveler to the continent or delightfully inviting to a seasoned visitor. As with many other countries in West and Central Africa, you have to walk out onto the tar, get on a bus, and then walk over to immigration. That was all nice and dandy until I got to the immigration window. The immigration official looked at my passport and said: Oh. Ata. . . .you are Ghanaian. You should be on the 'national' line. I said 'oh, no. thank you, but i'm not Ghanaian'. 'But your name is Ata. And it is spelled wrong by the way'. 'Um. . .yeah, no. . .actually its spelled correctly and it also Arabic'. Well. . .you can only imagine the conversation from that point. It took a while, but i think i was able to convince him that I was not Ghanian and was in fact a legal American citizen
