]]>Belfast, Ireland
Going for a night out in the Northern Irish capital? Keep this in mind: you cannot hail a taxi in Belfast. To find a taxi, either get a phone number for a taxi operator or walk over to one of the taxi stations, where a public phone is available to call a cab.

Tokyo Japan
In a city that’s not cheap, a taxi might not be the first choice, but if you decide to go for it, find a taxi queue near any famous site, and pick a taxi with a green license plate. They are vacant if their dashboard sign is red. Confusing, right? Welcome to Tokyo!
Lagos, Nigeria
Lagos is a hectic city, and it might be confusing to decide how to get about it. If you decide to hail a taxi, it’s good to remember a few things: avoid getting stuck on the side of the road; try to pick a newer-looking vehicle; always agree on the price in advance after a short negotiation, including who pays any tolls that might happen on the way.

There’s also a pathway through the woods at ground level, which includes several lookouts and a storybook treehouse, where you can see and hear the birds that live in the forest.
At the end of the walkway are the Koi & Tilapia ponds, allowing a moment of cool serenity in the hot Lagos weather.

]]>Three Weddings
Nigerians are expected to host three wedding ceremonies. The first is a traditional wedding, the second is a court wedding and the third is a religious ceremony, which is held in a mosque or a church. The three weddings mean that the couple’s love has been consummated by the people, the law and their God.
Sunday Rice
On Sundays, most families in Nigerian homes will serve plain rice with a chicken, beef or fish stew. It is a joyful tradition and follows Sunday church service.
Omugwo
After a child is born, the mother-in-law of the mother takes care of both her and the newborn child. She bathes the baby and cooks for the mother while taking on standard household chores. The practice is known as “omugwo” and typically lasts three months.
Respecting Elders
In Nigeria, elders are treated with the utmost respect. Among some Nigerian people, it is required for a woman to kneel or curtsy when greeting an elder. Men are required to squat or bow each time they are in the company of a senior.
Raining Money
At lavish weddings or other special ceremonies, people will rain money on the dancefloor. The act indicates social status and also symbolizes their gratitude for the celebrations.
