🇳🇬 First Week in Nigeria | Culture Shock & Surprises! 🌍

Another busy week—here’s my raw take on life in Lagos so far: 🏡 Living on a Lagos Island 1️⃣ Oceanfront vibes 🌊 – My place is near the Atlantic, and the views? Chef’s kiss! 😍 2️⃣ Lagos = Nigeria’s "wealthy" hub, but inequality slaps you in the face 😳. Even in "posh" areas, locals earn ¥300-500/month. Yet, the massive population means endless business potential for Chinese entrepreneurs. 💰 Cost of Living (Sticker Shock!) 🍜 Chinese restaurants/shops exist, but prices are 2-3x China’s (¥100 for noodles?!). Locals rarely eat there. 🏢 Company canteen serves Chinese food—thank god, because Nigerian sauces taste... interesting 🤢 (still adjusting!). 🚗 Traffic: Survival of the Fittest 🚦 Zero traffic lights, 10cm car gaps, and AK-toting cops at intersections. 🚔💥 🛣️ Driving here = extreme sport—no mercy, no rules, just pure chaos. ⚠️ Pro Tips for Newbies: ✔ Mosquito watch 🦟 – No bugs spotted yet (hotel/office are safe), but long sleeves + bottled-water teeth brushing are musts! ✔ "Rich vs. Reality" – Pack patience (and snacks from home 🍪). #NigeriaDiaries 🇳🇬 #LagosLife 🌆 #CultureShock 😅 #AfricanBusiness 📈 #TrafficChaos 🚗 #ExpatProblems 🤷‍♂️
