My Favorite Place In the World Is Ghana: There is only one place on earth where you can receive the best hospitality, the tastiest exotic foods, and learn dances that have names such as the "Al Qaeda." Ghana is simply the most unique country on this planet. The Ashanti people of Ghana use one of the simplest naming systems. The names of children go by their gender and their day of birth. For example, I am a female born on a Friday, so my name is Afia or Afua, depending on where in the Ashanti regions I am from and who is spelling the name. Ghana is a country full of many languages. There are over 50 languages that are spoken, but the most common language is twi. Almost every Ghanaian knows how to communicate in twi. It is the best language to get familiar with, should you ever want to visit Ghana. As far as our history goes, our most influential person in our history is Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. He led the movement to Ghana's Independence,changing the country's name from Gold Coast to Ghana, which was the original name of the country before it was colonized by the English, who then found out about the massive amount of gold in the country.The site for the beginning of the slave trade is also found in Ghana. When you go to Cape coast, there is a ship there and you can go inside and see how the slaves were stored and the different components of the ship. It is a very educational and emotional experience.
