As I was walking home today from school I starting laughing to myself and thinking of all the things that remind me that I'm in Africa and not in the US. Here are a few, I hope you find a little pleasure in my growing list.
-Red clay dust
-walking through a heard of cattle on my way home from school
-school running an hour late (and teachers are ok with it)
-seeing monkeys on the side of the road on my walk home
-eating termites with dinner last night
-60 kids in my classroom
-kids touching my hair when I'm not looking
-kids rubbing my arms against their skin
-driving on the other side of the road
-eating more corn than I have in my entire life
-hang drying my clothes (I'm from washington, we don't hang dry)
-multiple marriages proposals (no ring is on the finger yet)
-mopping my floor with a towel
-and trying to coordinate skype times with friends is really confusing
It's a short list that seems to grow any time I take a second to reflect on my time here :)
