3rd Sunday in Abuja

Today is my last Sunday in Abuja. I got up very late, when I got to the restaurant, it was already 9:40 am. I met Iti and Anick, talked about IBM for a while. I have a cup of coffee and some fruits, that was good enough. And then I went upstairs to Glyn and Brad's suite to visit 2 guys. Glyn is busy on his final presentation and Brad is trying to connect to internet but failed. Everybody here knows internet connecting is very bad, the signal sometimes is good but ISP is really not good. We plan to visit the National Church and then go to the Shareton hotel and then walk to Art and Craft Village to buy some jewellery. Glyn wants to buy some for his daughters. He is a  good father, I cannot believe his elder daughter is already 17, but he looks so young like 30s.
12:00 PM Brad, Glyn and I we start from Onyx hotel. At the gate of Onyx hotel I got a taxi, but the driver wanted 600 Nairas from Onyx hotel to Shareton hotel. Brad said "300" but the driver obviously disagree. We decide walk to Spice food which is the only restaurant here and Glyn said "He will come with up later." Brad and me smiled :) I guess so. After 1 minute we just walked for 1 minute the driver came up and said OK. That was a good price. In 10 minutes we arrived @ Shareton hotel, we went to the swimming pool straightly. To be honst I did't know the way,the destination and I was not very much understanding Brad and Glyn were talking about but I knew we would go a restaurant, because Glyn and Brad had the breakfast very early(7:00 am) and I had very late (10:00 am). They must be hungry now !!
The waiter gives us a menu for each. I noticed it is the same as last time we went to Elephant Bar. So I can image they are sharing the same menu among all the restaurant in Shareton hotel.Last time I got the spaghetti (Sorry I forgot the second word). Today I want to try a new one, the Nigeria food. It seems very spice because all of them are mentioned spice and chilli, Wow!! What a spicy country.I asked the waitress which is the least spicy food? I got the first one, Chicken Spice. Ok that it is. And I ordered the bitter lemon as well, because I don't want to have spirit and cola at all. After 30 minutes waiting we  got the food. It looks good half chicken, that is most meat in a meal in Abuja Nigeria. I really like it. After the first tasting, I think it is not bad, at least here it is very good. But compare in China, I don't think it worth 2800 Naira which is 120 RMB, I can have a big lunch in China. But it is in Nigeria so forget about China. :(.

Now let me post some jewellery I got in Art & Craft Village.
 These are all the jewellery for my wife. I am sure she will like it.
