Lagos in a Day Again

Yeah it's sooo late right now,

But we came back from going to Lagos at six in the afternoon. We left at six in the morning. We did it take so long? Why were we even going in the FIRST DARN PLACE? Well...we need car parts. One thing about Nigeria is that it isn't a very modern-car friendly type of place. So even though all these rich people are buying Lambourghinis and McLarens and Porsches, the problem is is that nobody knows how to fix those type of cars here. Why you would bring one of them over in the first place boggles me; you should see the conditions of the roads. A sports car's worst nightmare. So we had a Porsche come over to get fixed so we had to go all the way to Lagos and back in one DAY. And even with all of that work, guess what? The parts that we got were the wrong ones!!! See, that's the other problem; nothing is standardized here so you never know what you're gonna get. It's a pretty big problem. So we're always dealing with "OH-NO THIS IS THE WRONG FRIGGIN' PART WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GONNA DO" type of situations. Seriously, it's not the funny. At all. We lose money and we really are powerless to stop losing money. :( Well, no use in complaining, right? Even with all of that I still had a fun time in Lagos. We went and ate at an Indian restaurant! Might not sound like much but that's probably the only Indian restaurant in the whole country. :D So, longer post tomorrow,
