In Ghana, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules
about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who
receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to
the dinning room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.
