Nairalanders, wat's your most Memorable experience while abroad or travelling abroad?  

Mine wa on the flight to dubai. there was this fine air hostess from kenya who seemed to like

me because my surname is coincidentally a common name in kenya although i'm nigerian. she kept bringin

me drinks and snacks throughout the flight and after the flight , lol

going to nigeria for the 1st time in 2000 when i was just seven years old!!!

Mine was going to Nigeria for the first time, in the'70's. Those days, sea travel was the norm.

I remember the second day of the voyage - I was leaning over the deck rail, intent on throwing bread and other food scraps into the sea, to see if the Dolphins I'd spotted would break the surface to eat them. I was so intent on what I was doing, I didn't realise my feet had left the slippery deck, and I was tipping over! I was only aware of the danger, when a deck hand shouted, and grabbed me by my shorts, saving me from certain death - I couldn't swim, which was academic anyway, as the waves were far too violent for even a strong swimmer.
