This is the strangest thing of all times...
Every last Saturday of each month is Sanitation Day in Lagos. Nobody is allowed out of their houses until 10am, no people, no cars, no nothing.
However, I am told that nothing actually happens!
There are NO rubbish trucks in Lagos at all!
I'm actually not really sure how the rubbish gets disposed of, well all the other stuff apart from what's lying on every streetcorner in heaps. I know some people just burn the stuff right there but that of course leaves all the metal and glass.
I suspect that a lot of stuff gets dumped into the sea which of course is very accessible everywhere as ther are many long bridges connecting the island.
Talking about bridges-they get swept each day (there is no rubbish there) by a brigade of women who move the sand? from one side to the other side? I can't see anything but they are sweeping...
I can't work it out.
Got some good news today-
since there are about 4 TV commercials to be produced I am being sent home to SA for a week to do the art direction there!
Yeah!!!!Home is going to be soooo good.
