Major hand clapping and applause for that most in depth,intriguing and amusing travel report/short story.
You might have missed your calling if you're not writing for a living!
I suggest you edit it a bit and send it off to a few travel magazines!
Took me back to the first time I went to Lagos as an 8 year old while my Dad was working in Calabar,Cross River State ....those cats were climbing the chicken wire protecting the check in staff behind the desk!!
Surreal images...some interesting experiences but it was my Dad's worst posting by far...and I couldn't imagine going there for a relaxing break!
Got to respect the people's resilience and ingenuity though ,most Westerners would fade in a day dealing with all that
Are you a Brit,with Nigerian heritage now living in Toronto?
