Rainy Lagos Morning

When it rains in Lagos, the streets get filled with water. What makes the journey even longer is because the drivers cant seem the deep potholes, so everyone follows the driver in front.

Pictures above are taken from my office, on the5th floor. Videos below are of the ride to work in the flooded streets.

Moved to Somerset Osborne

We have moved from the Somerset near our office to the Somerset in Osborne Estate, along with the others. This place is so much more nicer. Here is an external and internal view of our new place.

This is the view inside the hotel.

This is the view inside our room.

Internet in the new hotel is very, very poor though. The only page that loads up is probably Google. Facebook and the rest is dead. There goes Trumph and Farmville!

Chicken, Chicken & Chicken

To all those who hoped, myself included, that I would come back slimmer, my apologies. The staple food here daily is chicken, chicken and chicken. Everywhere you turn its chicken. We've been to Tastee Chicken and Chicken Republic. Chicken Republic is slightly more expensive. Maybe because the chickens have a union in Chicken Republic.

Anyway, here's a short video of the walk to Chicken Republic. Take note of the traffic.

Nigerian currency conversion:

N150 = USD 1 = RM 3.5

Usually meal would be Jollo Rice (around N350), one Charcolit Chicken (N400), salad (N200) and water (N150). That's a grand total of N1100 or RM25 per day for lunch.

Dinner is usually more expensive, around N5000 per person. And this isnt even for extravagent food - just a plain old fish and chips for RM125.
