'Announcing the
arrival of BA 82, Welcome to London'
Yikes, I'm in London
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sightseeing
At Poundland
Me: Please, how much is this (holding the biggest bottle of
coca cola zero)
Attendant: One pound
Me (in my mind): This is freaking cheap. The smallest bottle
in 9ja is 250h
At Primark
Omo!!! see cheap things. I'll definitely be visiting
At Argos
Me: (to the attendant) Please I want to buy a duvet
Attendant: (In britico voice) Ma'am you're gonna have to

(Chineke, which kind food be this)....'errrm you know what,
I'll just have chips, plain chips please, don't put anything'. As in the food
here is just aaaarrgh and I've not found a Nigerian/African market. I found
cereals though, on getting home I discovered that I forgot to buy cutleries, so
I ate my Maltesers and slept.

Now I'm in this induction class and I'm bored to death. I
can only see 3 dark skinned people. One is VERY VERY dark, I think he is from
Burkina Faso and he's trying to make conversation, if only he knows what's in
my mind. I was convinced the other chic was Nigerian, until she came to say hi
and told me she was from Uganda and the third guy? well, that one was on his
own. Coffee time and I was sitting alone, trying to write this piece and this
guy walked up to me, he had 'Pakistan' written boldly on his ID. Mehn, I fear
o, he said to me ' why aren't you speaking to anyone' and I say 'It because I
can't see anyone like me, you guys are everywhere'. He picked up my black pen,
coloured a portion of his hand and said 'see, don't be a racist'.....lol, funny
dude. I took note of his name 'Norman Taj', I'll probably still run into him
again.
