Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Aburi is a quiet mountain town in the Eastern Province of Ghana, about 40 kilometers from the capital, Accra, with an altitude of up to 370 meters above sea level and a pleasantly cool climate, and is known as the "backyard of Ghana". The town's most famous attraction is the Aburi Botanical Gardens, a 64-hectare facility built in 1890, which is a popular destination for scientific research and eco-tourism, and is home to a rich variety of tropical plants, including rare flowers, medicinal trees and centuries-old trees. The local economy is based on agriculture and handicrafts, with an abundance of flowers, citrus and other crops, as well as traditional weaving markets and wood carving crafts. Combining natural beauty with traditional Ghanaian flavor, Abor is an ideal place to experience an idyllic life away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
