Tuesday, August 10
I arrived in Lagos and was heading out to the local hotel. As per normal about four or five people tried to help me carry my luggage, find a taxi, load the taxi, open the door, use the seat, close the window, etc. I knew I still had a few Naira ( Nigerian money ) in my wallet from last time I was in Africa so I thought that I would use that to give to the one man who actually did help a little. It didn’t look like much so I just handed him all of it and got in the car. When I got to the hotel later I looked in my wallet again, only to find the Naira was still there but the Nepali Rupees were gone. I’m a little curious what he did with it.
Other than that I have arrived in Lagos Nigeria without incident. And am Looking forward to getting to work.
I was expecting the weather to be very hot in August, since I am usually here in January or November and it is hot enough then. Nigeria surprised me and is actually much cooler, due to the fact that it is the rainy season.
