(1) A recent Forbes poll voted Ghana the 11th friendliest nation in the world and the friendliest in Africa (I haven't seen the poll, but can bet that Thailand and the Philippines were high up there as well).
(2) The Ghanaian handshake consists of "a limp grip of the hand followed by a snap of the forefingers and thumb." Good to know! When I was in Rwanda, I found out quite awkwardly that the standard shake for women is a handshake and three kisses on alternating cheeks (while still gripping the hand). For men, it's a handshake followed by a head butt. One of countless times I'm glad I'm a woman.
