Oh, tell him that if he gets a long weekend free, he should go to Lome, Togo for a few nights. Buses leave early in the morning from Accra to Aflao on the Togo border. 4 hour bus ride. He can get a Togo visa at the border, walk across the border, hop on a motorbike taxi, and he's basically in the middle of Lome in 2 minutes.

Lome is very different from Accra. Crumbling colonial atmosphere, beautiful women, very nice.
