The Journey so far(Entry log 2)

Life of an African in Cardiff

A couple of years ago I decided to relocate i didn't know where to, all i knew was i wanted out of Africa, Nigeria to be precise. A few years have gone by and now I’m wondering if it was indeed the right choice. The truth is, i know a lot of people were in my shoes  or still are, so I've decided to put it all down on paper...no!!! I've decided to put up a blog to make it more extravagant (i hope!!)

Pardon me if I’m not excellent with words or grammar and what not, that’s because I’m not a writer never have been and i don’t know if i will ever be. But like they say “there’s always a first time for everything”, so follow me into my world and let me introduce you to Cardiff, the largest city and also the capital of Wales and from what i hear it’s the 9^th largest city in the United Kingdom. That aside, i call it my new home with the hope of a very bright future ahead.

I never knew much about this new city of mine until i moved here, I ignorantly thought it was just a place in the UK, or somewhere on the outskirts of the great United Kingdom, away from the populous city of London, somewhere i believed would unfold the new life i so much sought after.

So far, this new city of mine is called Cardiff. So far all i know is  Caerdydd (the Welsh name of the city) derives from the earlier Welsh form Caerdyf.....at the moment that's a story for another day or time.  

My journey so far has been a bag of mixed feelings, and as much as i loving living in Cardiff, to be sincere, there are times i cringe....not in the worst of ways though, because even the greatest city in the world would have its downside. Over the years we seem to have something like a long term relationship, in the beginning its all fun and crazy stuff, after a few years it  becomes annoying and after that you just live with it. For those who have been married for years will know it’s not enough to just get up and leave, like i said, I've decided to call it home. But maybe if i could erase the negatives it might just almost become perfect.

If there are a couple of things ill like of my list they would be......
