 A KING IN KENTE CLOTH

Kente cloth has its origin with the Akan people. It is a royal and sacred cloth worn only in times of extreme importance and was the cloth of kings. Over time, the use of kente became more widespread. However, its importance has remained and it is held in high esteem in the Akan family and the entire country of Ghana.
In Ghana, kente is made by the Akan people (including the Asante, Bono, Fante, and Nzema). Kente is also produced by Akan groups in Cote d'Ivoire, such as the Baoule and Anyin, which trace their ancestry back to Ghana before the rise of the Ashanti Empire. Lastly, Kente is worn by other groups such as the Ewe and Ga who have been influenced by Akans. It is the best known of all African textiles. Kente comes from the word kenten, which means basket. The Akan peoples refer to kente as nwentoma or woven cloth.
The icon of African cultural heritage around the world, Asante kente is identified by its dazzling, multicolored patterns of bright colors, geometric shapes, and bold designs. Kente characterized by weft designs woven into every available block of plain weave is called adweneasa. The Asante peoples of Ghana choose kente cloths as much for their names as their colors and patterns. Although the cloths are identified primarily by the patterns found in the lengthwise (warp) threads, there is often little correlation between appearance and name. Names are derived from several sources, including proverbs, historical events, important chiefs, queen mothers, and plants.






Elmina and St George’s Castle - Elmina is a scenic angling region, located on the shore of Ghana in the close vicinity of Cape Coast. The area is very famous as it houses the biggest allurement of Ghana which is St George’s Castle that was constructed in 1482 by Portuguese but after 150 years it was invaded by the Dutch who made it the headquarters of West Indies Company. The underground chambers that were used to confine the prisoners will give you a clear idea about the gruesomeness of the trade.

Tuorism gives culture understanding

It has been long acknowledged that travel opens the mind. In the past, however, the purpose of travel was only to take part in an even-handed, two-way learning experience with people of other countries and cultures. Up to the 19th century, when Europeans traveled beyond their continent’s borders, they tended to harbor some kind of colonial attitude. Europeans at that time mostly considered foreign cultures inferior, primitive and barbaric. Terms like “expedition, or voyage of discovery”, which are still in use today in some areas. As a tourist, I would be open to learning something new, and give respect to the environment I find myself in. I will not pratise superiality but rather attempt to fit into the their environment and society.
Each year more than one million children are used in the sex industry worldwide. Child sex tourism is defined as commercial sexual exploitation of children by men or women who travel from one place to another, usually from a richer country to a less developed country where they have sexual intercourse with children under 18 years. Child sex tourism exists in many forms, but generally these are grown men when traveling away from home pay in cash or in kind for sex with children. Women also commit atrocities, but they constitute less than 5% of the total number of sexual offenders.
This offense is an offensive attack on the children's dignity and a violent assault on children. This sexual exploitation of children have several consequences for these children and can cause permanent physical and psychological trauma, disease including HIV / AIDS and lead to addiction, unwanted pregnancy, malnutrition, social exclusion and in some cases death. As a touris
t, I will stay away from sexcual all activities especially under-age people. It is very abusive and dangerous to pratise this commercial acts and if arested you can get long tine in prison. It is very important to learn and get to know your touris destination laws and noms so that you can observe them without getting your self in trouble.
I will take responsible for my actions during my tour abroad and will definitively not contribute to animal suffering, I will not accept any culture as an excuse for cruelty, nor will I contribute economically to such conducts. I will practice good behavior, treat animals with respect and avoiding dishes if it includes bush meat or contributes animal cruelty. It's an old saying that if you want respect you must treat others with repekt. This can only be achieved by considering and respecting others when you are in their territory as a tourist.


You need to get a better understanding of the mindsets and culture of the population you have visited. One must learn to understand why things are as it is by learning something about the country's politics and economic cultures and alongside gives credit to their institutions. When traveling, do your best to avoid all criminal activities and follow the noms and laws, by so doing you will absolutely have a good time and experiences.
