Here I am in Tema, Ghana, 20km due northeast of Prampram and northwest of Dodowa. You don't know where Ghana is though, do you? Ghana, of course, is situated between Togo and Cote D'Ivoire. That doesn't help. Ok, just know that it's in West Africa. Miss South Carolina can shed light on why many people in the US can't find Ghana on a world map (Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WALIARHHLII).
