Bro....if you are calculating everytime before you spend, you WILL NOT buy anything. Best is to view the money as it is (£20 is as #20 except it holds more value) & not start converting everytime or else.... Don't be surprised if your calculator displays 'I'm angry at you'.....even IRON MAN who is all hi-tech can't save except for those 'THREE OLD WOMEN' in your village By the way, you'll be exhibiting 'NEW ARRIVAL THINGS' PS: Enjoy your duration of stay when you come visiting. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Me happened few days ago. Flying on a plane first time, I've always avoided flying in Nigeria whenever I had the opportunity opportunityas as i was scared of crash! I'll rather take the night bus. Traveling first time for 20 ho urs in the air! I ironed all my clothes before packing (didn't know what I was thinking). Had a tough time finding my connecting flight at Heathrow airport. I almost cried! Next day after I got to my destination, I had to walk for over 15 minutes to find a shop to buy adapter as my phone and laptop charger can't fit into intothe socket. I got to an intersection where I needed to cross to the other side of the road. There's the "hand" sign that I was waiting for it to turn green before I can cross but it never did. I stood there waiting for long time, all the cars stopped and moved on yet it refused to show green. I felt everyone was watching me from their cars. After waiting for long I just moved far away from the traffic light and crossed! I thought I was going to be arrested so I walked faster!. Inside the shop, after purchAsing the adapter, the white guy who sold it to me began asking me questions and he finished by asking...."would you like to have a drink with me tonight"? See me see wahala? I didn't know how to answer that... so I told him that's inappropriate!inappropriate! Her said that's weird! Is it normal to have a drink with someone you don't know? The hotel I'm staying at offers free breakfast, I walked into the room the first day and nobody was inside, different stuffs they called "food" were lined up, I'm not familiar with any of the food so I picked something that look like buns. The same thing applies to the restaurant. I've lost lots of weight within theses few days of arrival because I'm not eating well and I hate the food! More to come..... 8 Likes |

Funny enough i cant relate to the various experiences on this thread. however, i do remember two incidents that when i think of it right now, i was just plainly ignorant. Incident 1 landed in Osaka Japan after a 35 hr flight frm lagos, couldnt read shit back then so with my heavy luggage, i stepped on the escalator (first time), well to my embarrassment, i and my luggage tumbled down the moving escalator. everyone around were just laughing. Incident 2 In singapore, trying to get to Sentosa from orchard road, could not locate the nearest MRT so i decided to take a cab. tried waving down cabs but they would not stop. When one eventually stopped, i grabbed the door handle and went into the cab. The taxi guy told me to Bleep out and join the line waiting for taxis. I was embarrassed and angry. oh well you live and you learn. 4 Likes |

I remember my first time in London,stayed in Premier lnn close to Heathrow for the night(my cousin was to pick me the next morning),when it got dark I decided to have dinner in their restuarant. As I sat down,a waitress came over with the menu(that was where the wahala started),I looked menu up and down for almost 20minutes,I couldn't find something I could eat. I shall saw one meal with "pasta" in it so I picked it thinking that with my spaghetti and macarroni eating skills I should be able to handle that. That was how the waitress brought a meal containing olive oil,half cooked pasta,fresh leaves and cheese(I tried one spoon and ended up being sick for 2 days) 5 Likes 2 Shares |

I remember my first day at school in Norway a long time ago. I had just transferred from a Nigerian University. I dressed up corporate with tucked in red and yellow long sleeves shirt, sharply pressed purples ( interspersed with green stripes) trousers. red and a yellow tie (to match the shirt), and ''cock'' shoes. The shoes clicked loudly when you walked. in Nigeria then it was considered very fashionable. I has very surprised and embarrassed to notice that everyone else had on Polo and casual tops with Jean or slacks and mostly sneaker, even the staff. And worse of all the ''Cock'' shoe was making such a racket on the polished floors of the school. First chance I got, i hitched a ride with some students that same day to the clothing stores and changed everything, put on everything and dumped my Naija clothes in the store trash. 3 Likes |
