PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Got ahead of myself there... wasn't so cocky against the Warri highway patrol - but that's another story. ;o)

Sometimes I feel like I'm just fed up with my everyday routine, I want to do something else but I can't! I have to work!!!

Stay tuned...

Think I even strummed out some guitar chords to this happy song... mustn't have been good enough to remember.... like every other experience here. :op

The result of excess drinking, whilst overdosing on hotel room CNN. You should see the doodles... :op

I actually went to the hotel 'business' centre and photo copied this diary entry, with all intentions of handing the copy over to management. I decided against it in the last minute... didn't think it would help the situation whatsoever. They are desperately trying to imitate western hospitality here, but failing miserably.Earlier the same day, I went to a 'fast food' place and ordered a beef burger with chips. "We are out of bread" said the female attendant, "you will have to wait for the bread to be baked." I said I wasn't in a hurry and sat down, patiently waiting for my lunch to arrive. Fifteen minutes later the attendant returned saying "I'm sorry sir, the bread is burned... would you like something else?"

I was told about one guy's bargaining technique here when it comes to prostitutes - he waits until he's in the Taxi, half way across the bridge, then stops the taxi and says "ok, N1500 for the night or get out right here...". Chivalrous bunch of guys I work with...

Still haven't had the chance for a proper jam... maybe on the weekend there will be another barbecue - will be sure to bring the djembe & guitar along. Was just told today (04/10) that I'll be heading off again soon, for another couple of minor missions - one in Port Harcourt.

Maybe they banned cyclists from this city, for being too slow? Here everybody has to be the first to get ahead in traffic, no matter what. Only god knows what the annual road toll is...
