Not for roughly 3 months. :-) And I'll be back again in another month.
I think I've been there about a dozen times.

Lagos has a good Mexican restaurant (Bottles).
Now try Port Harcourt. Or Warri. Then Luanda (Angola). Then Muanda
(DRC). You'll learn to appreciate Lagos. :-)

Taipei is much cheaper than Seoul or Tokyo. I expected high prices in
Tokyo but I was surprised how expensive things were in Seoul. A room at
the Marriott was over $200.
