Central London wakabout...December 23rd...

On the eve of Christmas eve, Isaac and I met up with Taata and Bosun at Central London...

It was funny to see the Nigerian timing at it's best.

"Let's meet at 9pm in front of Picadilly Circus station" we concluded on the phone.

There I was rushing out of the house to be at the place by 9pm without fail. I guess being out of Naija for 2+ years has had it's effect on me and time - and that's not a complaint. Only to get to Picadilly Circus to call and hear the guys were still in Taata's flat in North London...Damn...well it's a night out so it doesn't matter.

I proceed to walk around Central London with Isaac. The boy is acting like a complete JJC (Johnny just come) it's so hilarious. At one point I tell " Come if you will make a comment on everything , maybe u should cross and walk on the other side of the road" To hear him, you would not realise he has travelled to 17 countries outside Nigeria. He is still the consumate bushman despite AIESEC's attempt to expose him.

So finally after walking for 40 minutes of walking with Isaac, I check my phone and see 2 missed calls from Taata. I call him and ask where he is "Oxford Circus". But we said to meet at Picadilly Circus. Anyways, we just passed there anyways so we walk back to Oxford Circus and meet them both...

"Ok, so what do we do?"
"Let's go find a pub to drink and talk, but first we need some food"

So we go grab food. Or no, Bosun and Taata go get food. Isaac and I had eaten at home so we just ordered drinks while they ate.After they ate, the bar scouting starts.

1st Place: "No, it is member only tonight" Yeah right!!!

2nd Place: "You need to be on the guest list" Tell me about it!!!

3rd Place: Closed

4th....7th,8th...10...

So we start a a long and extensive walk around Central London for the second time of the night...Damn!!!

After another 45 minutes, we find a bar finally that is open, has good music, has no guest list, has great ambience, is free to get in and sold beer in jugs for £10. So we sit in drink and chat about whatever for 90 minutes till they are about to close. They offer for us to get into the club below at £10 per person...

"At 2am, AM I MAD??? Why will I pay £10 to party for 1 hour. Definitely not worth it"

We change scenes, walk around a bit and head for the bus stop. It's been a great night besides putting in so much exercise (wakabouting for 90 minutes)

It's time to head home...In the night bus, the urge to take a piss grips me...Damn!!! Had to endure the pain for 40 minutes.Twas hell...Finally got off and the relief afetr doing my stuff was priceless!!!

Stunbled into my bed - Gudnight
