Cheeky bugger that Tesco Samosa, thinks that just because he is from Ontario he can put things on other people’s tabs. Well, what can you expect from someone named after a British supermarket and an East African snack food.

As for exploiting the world through multinationals and clothing purchases, you can always avoid the problem by going to a tailor. A bit old fashioned, I will admit, but it works. Of course, one could argue that I am just as exploitative as you, or even more so. After all, I still get my clothes made in the third world, but I cut out the middle man and don’t provide an income for the marketing department (sorry Trajan).

Do not go to Ghana for a vacation unless you are looking for a cheap place to sit on the beach. The only other things to do are to visit the old slave castles and buy fabric for your lady friend, or friends in the case of Gryphin. While interesting enough, it is not enough to keep you busy for more than a day or so. More fun would to be fly into Cotonou, Benin, then make your way west, passing through Togo, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, then north to Burkina Faso. Hell, why stop, keep going to Mali and visit Timbuktu and be able to say you have really been to the middle of nowhere. However, that would cost you a lot more than sitting on the beach in Ghana and involve endless waits at the various borders. A much better option is East Africa, as you can play hot seat SEIV with me, as well as going on safari and climbing Kilamanjaro.
