I wrote about the on-off cycle of electricity in Ghana in my last post. After arriving in Ghana on Jan 6, the lights in my area stayed on continuously and mercifully for a full 5 or 6 days. Then the first blackout since I had arrived went into effect, which meant bringing the monster generator into service. This beast can power all lights and appliances, including the air conditioners (Photo: Kwei Quartey) MaxMart: lit up like a Christmas tree (Photo: Kwei Quartey) Generators
