You know you live in Africa when:

You know you live in Africa when:

• you seen an American product in the grocery store and you buy five of them because you might never see it again.
• women breast feeding in public doesn't cause you to look twice.
• you carry a roll of toilet paper everywhere you go.
• you answer to "white man", even if your a woman
• your feet are covered in red clay
• you fall asleep to the sound of bats, goats, pigs, and donkeys
• you are invited to eat a meal with everyone in town
• you place your furniture in close proximity to fans
• you get excited when packages or cars arrive in the mail
• you talk about all of the great restaurants you would eat at if you were in America
• you laugh at people on Facebook who complain about traffic and the weather
• you get excited when an email is sent on the first try
• you get excited when the internet works
• you read more books in eight months than you ever did in high school or college combined
• a three hour church service feels normal
• you are used to dodging farm animals and craters in the ground as you drive.
• you smell body odor and you don't worry because you know it NOT you.
• you only drink filtered water
• you bath in bug spray before going out at dawn and dusk
• you have a guard patrol your house at night. More for the snakes than intruders.
• you pay 70 USD for a twenty four pack of Dr. Pepper and it's worth every penny.
• you barter for your vegetables in market
• you pray all the food wont be scattered all over the floor when you go to the grocery store
• you have named all of the lizards in your house
• you sit down to make a list, "You know you live in Africa when..." and in a few minutes you have filled two pages and the list keeps going and going. I guess I will stop for now.
