		<title>Relativity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been reminded today by a supervisor that I see Nigeria through the eyes of someone living in a 5-star hotel. Fair enough. I’ll grant him that, but then that is similar to how I’ve seen most countries I’ve ever visited. I would like to think though that I’m not that oblivious. If I were, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Star Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Would anyone be interested in perhaps joining me in Tunisia around the 6th of November 2010? I&#8217;m trying to plan a trip to Tozeur (33°56&#8217;8.15&#8243;N   8° 6&#8217;43.00&#8243;E), Matmata (33°32&#8217;33.50&#8243;N   9°58&#8217;0.50&#8243;E) and Tataouine (32°55&#8217;10.33&#8243;N  10°27&#8217;28.84&#8243;E) (most of the desert scenes in Star Wars were filmed on these locations). South Africans can get a visum on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mr Eko and Mr Lennon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I went to The Palms Mall, to go see Inception (http://www.genesisdeluxecinemas.com/). It seems like a very popular hangout. The theatre was good, the movie was good, and the popcorn was awesome. That sweet caramel popcorn. Went to Shoprite to get some stuff to clean our whiteboard with at the office. It’s a very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cash Money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not sure what I just did qualify as a shopping spree, but it sure wasn’t for a lack of trying. It boils down to my Nedbank Voyager Visa Credit Card being out of action. I haven’t figured out the entire story yet, but it seems as if Visa themselves blocks the chip card. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For most part we are eating here at the hotel. We are not supposed to use Smart as our driver, but we have convinced him to leave MTN and come work for us. By driving us around on weekends, he gets to make some extra money. Raymond and I have eaten at Bangkok last Sunday, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Naija</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Naija is the local term for Nigeria. President Goodluck Jonathan unveiled a timer thingy in Abuja that is counting the days to Nigeria’s 50th anniversary. Yesterday we got the keys to our apartments (6°27&#8217;26.79&#8243;N 3°26&#8217;13.64&#8243;E). DTS is renting two apartments in the Admiralty Towers in Gerrard Street, Ikoyi. The apartments are on the 2nd floor, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Brave New World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled upon this list the other day. What grabbed my attention was that I already own quite a few movies on it on either DVD or blu-ray, so I decided to watch them whenever I can. Read the introduction to understand what it is about. http://www.rowthree.com/2010/05/10/brave-new-worldview-30-science-fiction-films-of-the-21st-century/ In time I will give feedback.]]></description>

		<title>Today, Tuesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The third day in Lagos was frustrating. Yesterday my laptop’s HDD crashed. This a brand new PC the work bought about 2 weeks ago. Last week the keyboard didn’t work and they ended up replacing the motherboard. Still, Dell is not prepared to swap the laptop for a new one. That’s pretty pathetic. They’re also [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010-08-08 10:45 GMT+01, Lagos, Nigeria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So yesterday was the beginning of a brand new adventure. At 12:00 the airport shuttle came to pick me up at my place and took me to the airport. Raymond, the driver, is not happy with the current political climate in South Africa at all. Checked in and declared all my electronics which seem to [...]]]></description>

		<title>ACSA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a response from ACSA on my mail questioning the events from Wednesday evening. I&#8217;m quite impressed that they addressed my mail personally, as they sure got a lot of complaints. Here is my mail and their response: Dear ACSA On the matter of the Wednesday night flights being turned back to Johannesburg, surely [...]]]></description>
