50 ways to lose your cedi
The Togo embassy didnt match Benin in terms of football knowledge but was miles above when it came to milking plenty out of us. That might explain the more opulant surroundings. After filling out three forms we were told that we would need to pay in cfa, the togo currency. On asking the gate guard where the nearest forex was we were told that conveniently he had the required amount in his pocket. He was a little to quick to convert for my liking and the price looked as convincing as a tab sportsbet fixed odds market but what can you do. We took the unders and now have a Togo visa. Leave Accra tomorrow so we won't be in touch for a few days. By the way i managed to get on Boundless in the Caulfield Cup thanks to Betfair mobile. Togolese gate guards, kiwi mares, overpriced t shirts from persistent street touts, there's a thousand ways to do your dough in this town.
