chatsworth play: children play in the hillside fountain at the chatsworth estate. we spent 3 hours walking the grounds and gardens, but didn't see everything. it was a welcomed surprise to see the fountain available for people to enjoy. visiting with some locals, I learned lady chatsworth still lives in the house (at the bottom of the hill). on occasion she'll walk the grounds and visit some of the visitors.

nigerian history

hello from choba town, nigeria: on my bed as the day comes to a close. before i came here... i knew it would be an experience. good experience or bad experience... i wasn't sure. i'm half way through my trip and i'll say now... it's a great experience. good people and a different way of life... i have so much to learn. professionally, i get to work with some really good people. personally, i interact with 20+ different nationalities. communication has never been so important.

a normal day at the office in nigeria

2006-04-08T09:11:00.000-07:00

gun shots rang out in the sticky african air. sitting in a second story, corner office, over looking the intersection of a busy street... i looked out my window and nothing. again, gun shots and again nothing. i must’a heard wrong... it was a car backfiring.

a few minutes later, a coworker came into my office and looked out the window. “did you see it?”
“see what” i said.
“the people shooting” he replied.
“no, i thought it was gun shots, but i figured it was a car.”
“no, those were gun shots. it happens a lot.”

before today, i was told stories of people driving down the street and shooting at buildings and people. today i heard it first hand.

a picture-letter from nigeria:

2006-04-02T01:07:00.000-08:00

the air is heavy, sweat is easy, and poverty is common. machine gun carrying mobile police, or mo-po as they’re called, ride with us everywhere... it is company policy. i have not ventured outside of the 15 foot walled, barbed wire draped compounds... with the expectation of traveling to other compounds. the little i have seen on the roads... i understand, there are no stop signs, no red lights, and no real driving laws. i have been in a few traffic jams, where an intersection was full of cars. people arguing about who has the right of way or who hit who. there is no electric power in the area (port harcourt). the electrical power supply is extremely limited, so the only places with power, run on generators. twice a day at the office, power goes out as the generators switch workloads... at night the hum can always be heard.

as grim as the above might sound, it is just a normal day. the streets are always full of people, walking to and from. motorcycles dodge in and around cars. horns honk constantly as a type of turn signal. at night, the streets are still full, seen only through the lights of the vehicles.

work has been constant. 12 to 15 hour days are the norm. sunday is a slowest day of the week, with work closing around 3:00 pm. tonight is my 4th night of a 29 night trip. the many different nationalities that work here are interesting. hungarian, indian, american, scottish, philippine, english, native nigerian, and many others i’m unsure of... seem to be good people. some make a career of working abroad, other just started, and some are unsure if it’s for them. as all might agree it has pro and cons. family life when they’re home is great, time away is difficult, but the one characteristic that most seem to share is strength. it takes a strong person to live in a difficult situation, work 7 days a week, and stay gone from their families for months at a time.

for me, so far... the work has been a good experience, but the environment has been even better.
