If you?re a budget traveler or backpacking Europe, Lagos is a cheap slice of paradise. Casa Rosa is the place for general sustenance, while Joe?s Garage is a place to let go.
Casa Rosa
Casa Rosa claims to be the haven for backpackers in Lagos. The more you travel, the more you know such claims are rarely true. With Casa Rosa, however, I can confirm the claim is true. This hole in the wall served heaping mounds of the food of the day for really cheap prices. It was packed with backpackers, which made it a good place to meet people and exchange war stories.
I haven?t been to Portugal for four years, so I have to attach a caveat to recommending Casa Rosa. When I first visited Casa Rosa in the 1990?s, it was owned by a couple of Brits, who were apparently trying to sell it. I dropped in twice in subsequent years and they were still there and still trying to sell it. Whether this ever occurred, I can?t really say so keep in mind there may be a new owner or the place may not exist at all.
Joe?s Garage
In every town or city, there is one ?underground? night spot you just have to visit. Of course, you first have to find out about it and then figure out where it is. People ?in the know? typically heavily guard this information.
For years, Joe?s Garage has been such a place in Lagos.
The recommend attire for Joe?s Garage is a bathing suit, t-shirt and flip flops. The place appears to have no ventilation whatsoever and is insanely hot. Turning a negative into a positive, the owners have a strong water policy. Water shoots out of the ceiling, mouths of statutes on the wall and water guns expertly aimed by bartenders. If you were glasses, just leave them at home.
Joe?s is open from around ten in the evening until the hour you stagger out. It is located on Rua Primiero de Mayo, but don?t bother writing that down. The place has so little signage that you could be standing in front and completely miss it. The best way to find it is to follow the late night crowd as they begin filing out of the bars around midnight.
Lagos is an ideal spot for budget travelers. The town is has beaches, nightlife and is cheap. Enjoy!

Create Huge Income From Your Web Site - 10 Easy Ways
by: Dennis Becker
The cost of setting up a web site is dirt cheap nowadays. You can register a domain for less than $2.00 as I write this (for .info domains). Hosting is also very cheap, and getting cheaper all the time.
So why are so many web sites springing up?
Obviously somebody's making money besides the hosting companies, so here's some idea starters for you:
1. Sell your own products or services. They should be related to your target audience. You want to be able to take credit cards (at least with PayPal if not otherwise) on your site and deliver your product to your customers as fast as possible.
2. Sell another company's products. There is no shortage of companies willing to drop ship items for you, all you have to do is make the sale and place the order with your fulfillment company, they do all the work, and you profit on the difference between their price...

BT Broadband
by: Neil Shevlin
Approximately 4 million people in the UK use ADSL with an extra 2 million using a cable connection, meaning 6 million people in the UK have an always-on internet connection. Of these over 1.7 million are subscribed to BT?s broadband package, making them the UK?s main broadband provider.
Back in August 2000 BT first launched its high-speed internet connection to customers. Initially only available to around one third of UK households and costing ?500 a year it was the first step in many to Broadband Britain.
There are currently only 2 ways to connect to ADSL in the UK. Recently a technique called Local Loop Unbundling means you don?t need to have a BT phone line, but at the moment only 1% of people on broadband in the UK use this method. The only other way to connect transforms an existing BT phone line into a high-speed digital line. This is only available with a BT phone line though, so even if you don?t...

A Wonder Of The Modern Age
by: Mitchell Hampson
Are you sick of having no room on your computer table, if so here are a few tips that might help you on your way?
If you still own one of those HUGE CRT monitors maybe it?s now a good idea to purchase one of the new more modern looking TFT monitors, they are a fifth of the size of cumbersome CRT monitors and much more aesthetic looking in the process.
Prices for a good CRT monitor have dropped considerably over the last 12 months and a 17? monitor which I find big enough for most uses can be purchased for around $200.
Other great purchases which are now the much smaller are compact keyboards, even a smaller than normal mouse can be bought for only a few dollars and are often more preferred for the female pc user.
Also you could always turn to a laptop which would be much more portable and you could have it anywhere in the home, making wireless networking a great idea, if you have...
