delicious (Made me miss yummy cheese, beans and spanish rice)!
Brenda came back after 6 weeks at home. I've just been here for over
7. It was the day after she left that I burnt myself trying to learn
to ride her bike.
She came over and it was hilarious hearing her and Jennifer talk
about things they miss from home. There are things that I have yet
to discover, but for many of the things they shared, I can already
understand.
Things that are different, things that are missed:
- Seemingly never-ending aisles of shampoo options - straight hair,
curly hair, colored hair... in all different brands. Plus the
conditioners to match!
- Starbucks every few blocks. The closest one to us is on the other
side of the mud volcano, a 2-5 hours drive.
- At every intersection, people honk - just so that you're aware
they're coming.
- Motorcycles weave in and out as they please. If you wave at a
coming car, they will stop for you to cross. There are no effective
cross walks here.
- Drive on the left side of the road. That in itself is enough of a
shift to get used to - I would often walk to the driver's side to get
into a car or taxi! I'm still not sure if there is a correct side of
the street to walk on when there are no sidewalks.
