If not for the Family Day, an ordinary Sunday in Lagos turns into something like visit a friend’s place. I would usually visit a friend’s house and spent the day with them. It is always nice to visit and see her family. The last family I visited is Rose’s family. She would be travelling back …

I’ve been feeling that restlessness which I’ve always associated with tiredness. Paradoxically, the more restless I feel, the more I feel the urge to bolt out from wherever I am. I’ve been tossing around some ideas as to where I would go for a very mini, tiny, Lilliputian break. I was thinkin…

Small World is the biggest charity event in Lagos, Nigeria. It is spearhead by a british women’s group (pardon my cluelessness to the official name of the group). Since 2006, the Philippines participated in this event and the proceeds of this charity goes to the pet project of the Filipino Commun…

I went with a colleague to a Christmas party for children in homes.   It is arranged every year by a group from campus.  It is not your average party.  Lots of chanting and "Hellelujahs" and singing.  There there were some children giving little shows - dancing, singing etc…

Nigeria offers a variety of tourist attractions such as roomy river and ocean beaches(not safe though-my friend were almost drowned in one occassion)unique wildlife, vast tracts of unspoiled nature ranging from tropical forest.

Refer back to the opening comment about airports, although in San Diego it was a train station. . . which I actually like. All this because there simply weren't many flights going to London, and who wants to travel for half a day in an airtight tube without a book or music player to keep you at lea…
