古鐵蕾絲到處走 - 拉各斯街拍

(2010-05-29 07:05:50) 下一個

 

這個路邊的沙子石子兒集散地是額路過總要瞄兩眼的地方,勞動最光榮

孩子的臉不知有什麽皮膚病,近看了鼻子上爛爛的,怪可憐人的~

 

車子在等紅燈,烏壓壓衝我們車跑過來一群人,我心一沉,難不成碰上了光天化日搶劫的歹徒?這群人以迅雷不及掩耳盜鈴之速衝我們車窗就灑了一桶肥皂水,然後這一通狂擦~~~ 接著就是要錢了,行啊,總比幹要強吧?人家怎麽還個整了個濕的~

剛用零錢送走這一幫擦車族,另一個手有殘疾的乞丐也過來湊份子,額實在不忍心聚焦在背景,拍nd個錢包吧~

這個光屁股的小盆友很可耐,晃著個內褲滿街跑

_MG_8851_resize

不來非洲不知道,非洲咋這麽多穆斯林涅~

我們車子停在一豪華住宅區(可算是拉格斯的比附利山莊了,不過請忽略地上的沙土和垃圾哈~),路邊坐了勞動人民一家,孩子們都很可耐的說~

哥哥很好奇額的炮筒,拉妹妹過來看,這個小藍孩長得還是很帥滴喲~ 額見到帥弟弟就心軟,給了他二百塊~ 耐拉

夜幕慢慢降臨,該收工的都收工了哈~

_MG_8918_resize

額們都說等不到看這條路施工完成的一天了~

_MG_8922_resize

拉格斯的路上,拋錨的車比比皆是,堵塞交通的功臣涅!這些人平常估計都不保養車子,md,都是些老掉牙的破車,還有啥保養頭?

_MG_8933_resize

快到家了,居然有大戶人家在放焰火~ 誇誇額的相機,黑天快速行駛的車子裏,還能把煙花拍成這樣~ 太帥了!

Good writing. Yes, very original, you have to live there to feel the life.

The servant still call all the white people including light-skinned people such as Chinese Master. I had similar situation.

Nigeria is very interesting country. On one hand the people is so nice, naive. And on the other hand, a lot of people are very tricky and always try to get something from other people. A lot of infamous stories about Nigerians. One thing I knew from talking the Nigerian colleague, they don't trust each other. IF they have to buy a car from a friend, they will go to the bank parking lot, get the cash and get the car.

Never to use your credit card in Nigeria or Africa. I have been Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, it is similar!

Good life experience and keep writing.

看見過~~~ 我這一禮拜出門一次的人,都碰見好幾回....太無語了....不過我出門都是在車裏,走路隻有從停車場到超市或停車場到餐廳,拍的拉各斯街景都是隔著車窗,如果俺還是未婚沒人管,真想帶著相機一邊走一邊拍......

在拉格斯的時候還用文字記錄了一些奇聞趣事,您看看是不是會有共鳴~

Yes, at least, Oil companies need to show they have done everything possible to protect their employees in case any lawsuits, also for Public Relationship.

By the way, thank you for sharing the photos. You have not had a chance to take photos of the naked adults in Lagos. I saw that on the street of Lagos.

Keep writing and enjoyed!

嘿嘿,oil company要求還真嚴咧!
alice_chen 回複 悄悄話 I am not working for CVX. I will be working on a project for a small oil company as a contractor. My employer give many warnings for my stay overthere. Be honest I am scared. Thank you for all the information, I feel much better now and will treat this trip as a good vacation. :)

There are lot of ebony wood sculptures I bought there and they are very nice to display at home. However, if you don't get the proof from the local art office showing they are not the antiques, the custom people will ask you pay under table fees. I paid $60 first time at the custom and then I got the proof (only about $10) next time having no problem at the custom.

As Jingutierrez said, a lot of bad people at the police and custom, but the people at the lower level such as servants are very nice people, down to the earth! Don't listen to Jingutierrez "得病以後再吃藥 " Oil Company never allow that.

There are three major Oil Companies there: S, C and EM. I guess you work for C. Haha, I work for EM. Cheers!

呸呸呸~ 瞧我這張嘴,沒想到您真是石油公司的~ 我開玩笑呢哈~ 我錯了,請您原諒。

隻在維多利亞島待,是很安全的,我們在那裏呆了一年,沒得過瘧疾,但是隨時準備了瘧疾藥,以防萬一。據醫生說,非洲的城市裏得瘧疾的幾率不大,就算是得了,拉格斯也有足夠先進的醫療設備可以控製,所以告訴我們得病以後再吃藥。至於黃熱之類的shots,額們也都打過了。吃的方麵是要注意,我們那裏一群美國人,隻有我跟大熊沒生過病,估計是我時刻用飲用水衝洗所有入口的東西的原因。

黃皮書額們也都有,不過沒人要求看過,最好還是帶著,那裏稍微有點權力的人,就可以因為一點小事兒索取錢財,從大街上的交警到移民局裏的boss.....

真的,維多利亞島真的挺安全的~
alice_chen 回複 悄悄話 Thank you for the information. I will be working for an oil company over there and will stay in a hotel in 維多利亞島. The vaccine will be done before the departure.

Thanks again

katyren 回複 悄悄話 To Alice Chen:
It is not that terrible in Lagos. I have been there three times 2001, 2005 and 2006.
It will be escorted by Armed Vehicle if you work for Oil Companies.
There is a lot of Chinese people from mainland China. One of good Restaurant/Hotels called "Grand Dragon" or something Dragon is owned by Chinese.

The better part of Lagos is in 維多利亞島 where all the oil companies located.

Malaria is the main issue and you have to take the medicine everyday. Make sure you have the yellow book to show you have done all necessary vaccine.

Let me know if you need more info

是呀是呀,你看那小藍孩長得像喬丹不?
jingutierrez 回複 悄悄話 回複alice_chen的評論:
不給三倍工資以上堅決不去!說的都很危險,其實也還好啦~ 不過真要去的話,可千萬挑個白天到,白天走的航班,切記。

lagos我隻在維多利亞島活動過,其他市區部分因為安全原因,也沒去過,沒有發言權。拉各斯很多國人的~ 華為的最多。

隻要你不是搞石油的,一般不會送命的~
jingutierrez 回複 悄悄話 回複茈冄的評論:
大清早的,吃了不少槍藥吧?啥大不了的事兒呀,憋上火,傷身子,國手那麽棒的身子骨都給氣s了,不值得~
閑人Filiz 回複 悄悄話 那兄妹倆真漂亮、可愛!
alice_chen 回複 悄悄話 I may be sent by company for working in Lagos for a month or so. Really worry about security over there. Any comments? I was told robbery occurring even at the washroom at the international airport and you need armed police to escort you from airport to hotel. Is that so terrible?
茈冄 回複 悄悄話 拜托,先把曆史、地理搞清在發帖,沒得讓人笑話——非洲自古就是穆斯林的勢力範圍。。。。
jingutierrez 回複 悄悄話 回複PurpleInk的評論:
沒沒沒~ 沒在非洲,在關島呢~ 非洲不回去了,我這兒還一堆關於非洲的帖子沒貼呢,容易造成誤會哈~
PurpleInk 回複 悄悄話 暈了,暈了,你又從關島回了非洲啦?
我剛想著您們倆走出非洲呢,這一眨眼功夫又走進非洲了。
