Ghana -- Kumasi

This is Kumasi, Ghana's second-biggest city, which has the or one of the biggest open-air markets in Africa. As you can see there are swarms of people and vehicles -- it was one of the most overwhelming places I've been since arriving in Africa, especially when most of Togo is not exactly bustling on this scale.

Outside of the market, the city isn't quite as busy, and has a number of pretty interesting museums about the colonial history of Kumasi and the Ashanti empire, which has its home here.
