Juanita Hotel Port Harcourt

... be ****ed and people would scream at us for an hour or two. So ev**y time we started again I was relieved. The filming was an in-out thing and it didn't take more than 15 minutes. I am actually a bit exited about it, even if the song is about a rap song with a hidden gospel moral. Basically, it is about a small child who wants to drink be**, because his mum went to 'witchdoctors' to get pregnant, and now she has a cursed child. V**y convincing story. Right next to the filming we ran ...

... aus d** Mode kommen. Morgen geht es dann wie gesagt weit**. Dann muss ich sehen, dass ich alleine klar komme. Erstmal muss ich sehen, dass ich an Geld komme, denn meine Travell**s Cheques kann ich hi** nicht tauschen. Jedenfalls nicht zu akzeptablen Preisen. Ab** in Benin sollte das kein Problem mehr sein. Da ist g**ade d** Nazi aufgetaucht, um mich abzuholen. Also macht es mal gut und wie gesagt: lasst was von Euch ho**en!

... I speak much slow** than when I first came to *****ia. Is ev**ything v**y Christmassy in the UK? It's boiling hot h**e and could not feel less festive. I'm actually really looking forward to being cold though - I've been sweating constantly for the past 3 months - mm nice.... Think I'm definitely a cold weath** p**son. Goodbye from Calabar! (wish me luck and patience for the forthcoming 13 hour bus ride to Abuja.....)

... I' trying to do to the headmast** at school and today I realised that he has no idea what the project is actually about! So - v**y frustrating but probably good for me to learn to be a bit more patient.... Things are really moving on though - I will be submitting a proposal to the education authorities in Edinburgh by next Friday. My Auntie Glory (who got run ov** by a bus) is up and semi-about with crutches. I went to Creek Town with the oth** volunte**s last ...

How is ev**ything going in the UK at the mo? Life is, as usual, hectic but fantastic h**e in Calabar. I have so much to do - it feels a bit like I'm doing a diss**tation ov** again! I am continuing to have wi**d and wond**ful (though usually one or the oth**!) exp**iences h**e. I find the transportation/traffic system h**e unbelievable. Last week I saw a taxi drive into a motorbike. The bike crashed down (luckily the passeng ...

... These are usually run by nuns and focus on assisting the eld**ly and orphans. I visited a place like this last week and they told us how they lit**ally pick people off the streets who don't have any family or community support. I'll keep you all updated with events h**e. Sorry if I confused you with the last email. We're having transport problems and need to get back from Edinburgh to our homes on Decemb** 18th. If anyone is in Edinburgh at this time can they let me know thanks.

... when the teach** walloped a six year old for talking. We have to call all old** females "Auntie..." and all old** males "Uncle.." e.g. if I want to ask directions I would say "Good Morning Auntie" - v**y odd! I hope I rememb** not to do that when I return to UK or I'll get some v strange looks... Hope all is well with ev**yone - please make sure you fill me in with all the news. I've found an int**net cafe which works ok-ish and try to check emails once a week at least.

Dear all, H**e I am at last. My arrival was memorable, if only for the fact that I was sent to the wrong city. Arrived in Lagos (although I should have gone to Abuja) about 10 days ago. Got to see Kunle and Lagos which was the good thing about this mistake. The next day howev** I was booked on a flight to Port Harcourt wh**e I am presently. The hospital (Teme) is in the processes of being "re-arranged". It was previously a private clinic that could accommodate ...

§1 - When it's time to leave Thursday 22/09 : PHC - Calabar 12h30, departure from PHC, fuel, go to Aba. My mind is gone. I cross Aba and arrive at Emoriomah. In between, 2 policemen stop me and try to empty 10 KNGN from my pocket (the engine numb** isn't written on the vehicle license - since...). Result aft** one cigarette : 300 NGN (and 15 min lost). I branch right to join back Calabar road. Nothing special during 20km of heavy rain. Put on raincoat on the road side, in the middle ...

In answ** to a forum thread on travelpodium, I had sev**al dodgy runs in Alg**ia and *****ia. The dodgiest: I was in *****ia for business, in the city of Port Harcourt, Riv**s State. Had to buy myself pants and socks, so I got on the car with one resident colleague and our *****ian driv**, Tony. I have plenty of dodgy stories with Tony driving, as he would get psychopathic within seconds, especially with local cops. That was one of my first days in ...
