Change of Guest House

Event Date: April 1 - April 8, 2006
Location: Apapa-Park View.

On Saturday, I was shifted to another GH in Park View residential area (in Ikoyi), which is closer to the office. Park View (PV… from now on) is a nice, clean residential area in Ikoyi, which has residential accommodation for many foreign nationals. The area is well guarded by security, and all of the Residences have high walls (fenced with barbed wire in few cases). Few of the pictures of PV are posted here.

In the New GH, I had 2 other Indians to give me Company (a Hyderbadi and a Tamil) in my flat, working with the same client. When I arrived at the GH, no one was there as both of them had gone to office (they go to office on Sunday as well, since they didn’t find many places to visit in Lagos, so felt it’s better to do some work in office, rather than getting bored at home). I was feeling hungry, and couldn’t locate the housekeeper anywhere, so I asked the driver to take me to a local shopping market ("Goodies"), got some junk food and came back home.

I spent the whole day watching TV and getting bored, as there was no good movie on TV. Met my flat mates in the evening, had dinner and went to sleep.

Sunday was uneventful, as I spent the day watching TV and trying to figure out how to switch on the Gas (Which, as I was later told, had finished and cooking was done on Electric burners only).

Monday-Friday was again Routine office life. 8:00am-Office, 7:00pm-Back to GH. 9:00pm dinner. 11:00pm-zzzZZZZ.

I chose to spend the Saturday in office in order to finish some pending work.
