G'day, How ya goin? That's my Aussie lingo comin out!! We returned last Wed. and still having a bit of jet lag but had a great time with the family. Thanks for all your interesting comments. I can imagine what an adjustment it must be for you. As much as you were prepared the reality must be so much more. In your most recent blog it sounds like you are starting to adjust a bit more. I hope you continue to feel more comfortable and that you enjoy your work and your time with the people. All the best and I look forward to following your journey. Blessings, Kathy
I can relate!! Amanda, your eloquence in writing is enchanting - I'm loving the great detail of your daily strolls and explorations in Addis.
I can relate to:
- having my lungs fill with dust. at one point in Tanzania I went to the doctor because i thought i had swallowed a fish bone but he told me it was a build-up of dirt. (being stubborn I took some pills anyway!)
- tripping... A LOT! are you getting used to being laughed at yet?
- being greatly confronted by children who, in Uganda and Tanzania, and Kenya refer to white people as "mzungu" - i often felt as though I know what it feels like to be a celebrity given the abundance of children who followed us around as often as possible.
Love and miss yaa! xoxo (keep the stories coming!)
Bonjour! Hey Mandy, just wanted to say that I loved your stories already and it sounds like you are having a great time so far. Best of luck with the apartment shopping! Good luck at work and have a great time!
Miss you lots,
Scott
