Hissing
Everyone hisses. Its a means of getting someone's attention. If you want someone to come over and buy something you hiss. If you want someone selling something to come over to you, you hiss. If you just want someone's attention, simply hiss. Even little Didi (Peter & Martha's 2 yr old daughter) copies the hissing. What a sound. Next time try hissing at your partner, your mother, or your best friend the next time you need something from them.. and see what they think. Smiles. Well there its common, and you become quite use to it. However, not so much that I too hissed. Still havent mastered it. Smiles.

Old Cars.
Left where they break down for the most part. Old cars line the streets. There seems to be a wreckage on each other block. I saw a large tanker truck, that looked like it had been on fire, still siting along a major road in Abuja. Guess there really isnt any money in towing them away. My friends here say, its the government's responsibility to tow them away, but they don't.
