You Know You're in Africa When...


This list started the week I got here and has continued to grow some. Enjoy…

1) You take a bucket bath and it feels like it’s the best thing that’s ever happened
2) You see a live chicken running through the isle at church
3) The sound of the generator is what lulls you to sleep
4) Children yell “hello” wherever you go and calling you “whiteman” or “Apato” (whiteman in Temmne)
5) See little boys wearing pantyhose as pants
6) You have to pour water into the toilet so that it will flush
7) You drive around town and off to the side of the road…there’s always a man peeing
8) Some of the children are terrified of you because you are white
9) Sit in church for 2 ½ hours and that’s a short service
10) All the children want to hold your hand or touch you
