In complete contrast to my last post (my life does seem to be about contrasts at the moment!) I just had to comment on my trip to the cinema last night. It was a tad surreal to say the least. I met up with some volunteers who were in Abuja for a meeting/workshop linked to their education placements and it was lovely to see them and go out for dinner first and head off to the cinema as a lovely treat afterwards.
I haven’t been to the cinema here yet and it was really bizarre, in that it wasn’t at all bizarre. There was a spar in the complex downstairs which was the first thing that made feel as though I had stepped into some weird portal back home and then when we actually went into the cinema I was convinced at the end I was just going to walk out back in blighty and head out into a no doubt rainy and cold car park and drive home to my flat in Gateshead. It was really odd.
Of course that didn’t happen and I had to barter for a taxi home to Maitama but for a while I thought I was the subject of a movie about rips in the time space continuum or some such sciencey type thing. Anyway the real movie of the evening was surprisingly good, we saw the new planet of the apes one and I wasn’t exactly expecting to like but I really enjoyed it. So there you go, Apes take over the world and Kasia doesn’t get magically transported to Gateshead. End of blog post.
