I usually tell people that too many high rise building in Nigeria are not safe, especially the ones built by individuals. Many will still fall in the future an people will be killed.

Berlin was the only place I decided to sleep for three nights. Having lived there in the last, I had many friends to see. News already circulated in town that I was In town. Everyone wants to see me, especially the street guys. I was one of them but i left long ago. From the time I left them, I have lived in Portugal, France, Amsterdam, China and few more countries. I have also visited numerous countries such as Russia During World Cup in 2018, Cameroun During the last African Cup of Nations, Kenya, Zanzibar, Ghana on numerous occasions, Dubai, Qatar during the last world cup and more places I can't remember right now. I have literally been around the globe. But these guys are still in same Berlin, same street, same park they have been selling weeds. I decided to visit one of the parks in a Friday. They were there, all surprised to see me. Most looking unkempt, still with their weeds, looking for white kids. I just took pictures, bought about four Hennessy Bottles and some meat, then took an Uber to meet some other people. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Two days in Amsterdam and I was done. I already booked ICE (Inter City Express) train ticket from Amsterdam to Berlin Germany. Back in the hotel, I kept myself busy with a bottle of original Jack Daniel's. I have missed the stuff a lot, not that I don't see them in Nigeria but I am afraid to drink or eat some stuff back home. Our people are usually more interested in making profits rather than importing original things. At about 10 am, I checked out of the hotel, trecked to the Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena Train Station and boarded my train to Berlin. It was going to be a long ride, so booked first Klass earlier. Sitting near the window, I observed the entire landscape along the way. Summer was just starting, the grass and trees were too beautiful. It didn't take much time to cross to Germany since Holland is a small Country. From the border, the Deutschland became familiar. The memories started coming back. Germany was the first country I lived in Europe. As we got to Oberhausen Train Station, I recalled that it was the first City I lived for a week when I nearly arrived in Germany. It was there that my Globalruns Journey started. I arrived Berlin around 4 pm and headed straight to IBIS HOTEL in Ku'dam area near the Berlin Zoo Garden. I booked an apartment in Neukoln area back from Nigeria but since I arrived a day earlier, I had to get a hotel room for a night. I chose to go to Berlin because that was the city I lived in and operated from back in 2004/5. Berlin was where I had many friends, it was very easy to chose Berlin. Berlin is the capital of Germany too. After I settled down, I made few calls and an hour later, few people were already waiting for me in the hotel reception. It was time to go look around town.

Crime / Re: NDLEA Official, Umar Bala, Accused Of Raping His Colleague’s Fiancée In Lagos by ZUBY77(m): 8:54pm On Jun 18, 2023 |
Mille: Actually both Bala and the lady arranged the meeting. Your fiancee just got his leave, traveled to Abuja and you went to clean his room already? Nonsense. It takes weeks for a room to get dusty in this rainy season, plus you go to clean the room when your fiancee wants to return. They were caught and the lady decided to change her story. Alternatively Bala decided to tell Peter that the girl is a harlot, so the girl decided to cry rape. 2 Likes |

The tour is currently ongoing. That's the reason for slow updates. Two days ago was Rome/Vatican , yesterday was Santiago Bernabau ( Real Madrid Stadium)and today was Madrid in General. Will return to Paris tomorrow in preparation for return to Lagos. I will have time to post much more updates. 10 Likes |

I did not leave Amsterdam the following day as it was time to do the actual tourism. I went online, booked a boat tour through the canals. Lots of foreigners were with me but I happened to be the only African there. It made the atmosphere a bit awkward for me but then I hardly care for such things. White kids would occasionally glance at the odd man sitting alone, pretending to be having fun like everyone else but the truth is that such things is always better when we have someone to talk and analyse each landmark passed through. We sailed thought the canal waters passing through landmarks such as the old Diamond house, Museums etc. The funny captain explained each landmark in English as we got to the end and turned back. It took an hour to round up. I want satisfied, so I bought a double decker bus tour and joined them. We drove around the City as well before I returned to my Hotel. In the evening, I went to the Amsterdamslpoort to see some old friends and share some drinks. I aready decided that I was not going tk sleep in anybody's house all through the tour. I made all arrangements of Accomodation through Bookings.com and AirBnB before going to the city. I was going going to Berlin Germany the following morning, so I left the gathering around 10pm and returned to the hotel. Note that at this period of the year, the sun is up around 5am in Europe and still up there around 8pm. 16 Likes

Evening of the same day, we went to the red light district of Amsterdam, the soddom and Gomorrah of modern Earth. This is where you see male prostitutes displaying their wares in the open. Female prostitutes from all over the world too littered their showcases with red lights trying to lure people to patronize them. Unfortunately the Red Light has become a major landmark in Amsterdam that if you are a tourist, there are 90% chances you will end up there. It is not necessary that you patronize them, I did not, but there are other activities that you can attend. There are strip clubs all over the place, there are live-sexxx clubs where you pay some money and watch live sexxx. People from all over the world gather there to have fun. There will not be pictures for this one. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

First order of the day was to call a friend to order for Naija swallow food. I guess I started missing it faster than I wanted. He ordered the food and invited me to his house for it. After that we went to the Amsterdamspoort where we met with a friend from Lagos who was also on a vacation in Europe. As a matter of fact, he was the reason I left Paris earlier than planned because he was going to the UK the following day. After exchanging greetings and having a few Heinekens, we all returned to our hotels and prepared for the evening outing, we were going to see the RED LIGHT DISTRICT of Amsterdam. 24 Likes

I arrived Amsterdam with the THALYS fast train via Brussels Belgium. I did not bother to alight and take a look at old Belgium because it was never part of the plan. I had only two weeks to tour around, therefore some countries were just going to be drive by. Amsterdam was as it has always been from my old days living there, calm, organised and everyone minding his business. I arrived at the Amsterdam Central Station, took a picture with the Train Driver since I was at the first Class Cabin close to him, (I booked all my tickets with the First Class Cabins though). My hotel was at the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS near the Johann Cruff Arena, so i took a taxi and went there . 24 Likes 2 Shares

The first thing I did before leaving Lagos was to buy an international esim card called holafly. From my research the unlimited data covers the entire Europe, which means I don't need to buy a sim card at all throughout the tour. Since I planned to stay 2 weeks, I purchased 15 days unlimited package at 47 US dollars. Since it does not allow hotspot function, I purchased two packages for my two mobile phones. I knew I was going to get wifi in hotels etc, but like I said, I was really prepared for the tour. So i have Internet everywhere I go, in the trains, parks, cars, etc. I was really connected. 13 Likes 3 Shares

DAY 2- AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS. I booked a Thalys fast Train ticket from their App and took a cab to Gare du Nord train station in Paris. I was going to Amsterdam on 7th since there was not much to do in Paris anymore. I was going to return to Paris before going back to Lagos anyway, so I figured it was better to start moving to other countries. 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Since I landed on the early hours, I decided to do a tour of Paris same day. I planned to visit many countries, therefore resting much was not an option. But first I needed to charge my gadgets. Since their sockets are different from the UK, I went out to get one first. Then I proceeded to the Champse Ellyse area where everything happens in Paris. When i got the Eifel Tower, I rented a Ferrari to do my around Paris tour for an hour at 200 Euros. I didn't want to drive the car myself for some personal reasons, so I rented a driver for extra 50 Euros. I also did some pictures around and felt I needed to move to Amsterdam the next morning. Made few efforts for apartment management to refund me for one day I was not going to stay but didn't succeeded, that's was 120 dollars lost. But we move 22 Likes 2 Shares

On the 5th of June, I took my family out to a Chinese restaurant to atleast bribe them to allow me have the vacation alone. I didn't want them to go through the obvious stress I was going to witness. Sometimes we have to make sure everybody is on the same page and agreement before taking decisions. That's a guarantee to a happy relationship. Just find a way to balance things up, there is always a way. 27 Likes 2 Shares
