Today you check into your new room in Lagos for a stay of 4 weeks.
You unpack and sleep. Next you try to take a shower - bit difficult as there is no water.
You move rooms into what appears to be a converted cupboard - however there is water (both hot and cold which is a real bonus) and the internet even works (at dial up type speeds of course). So you unpack and decide to take a look out of the window - the view is a bit surprising as it is a view of another hotel corridor and doesn't look outside at all. So you pack again.
The next room seems OK but this time I check for internet and TV - none of either - but at least this time I've had the sense not to unpack.
Finally I move into room number 4 where everything seems to work for now - but I won't hold my breath.
Would have been good if they had offered me room number 4 the first time around, but I suppose my activities brighten up a hotel receptionist's otherwise boring day.
