Texts I find myself sending to other PC volunteers
I
was just walking back from bathing in the river and saw someone using a refrigerator
as a punching bag. I’m pretty sure that would win him the fight on the intimidation
factor alone.
I
was just showering in the dark and didn’t realize there was a chicken at my
feet until a good minute into the shower when it clucked and walked away. The things that would have surprised me 2 months ago...
My shower
As
soon as I thought things couldn’t get any weirder I see the town drunk dancing with
a dog in the intersection. The
thing was…they both weren’t half bad.
I
just had some guy in the street starting singing and dancing Gagnum Style to
me. I think he was a bit confused
what country/language that song is actually in.
I
just made a kid cry on a bus just by looking as her. I wish I could say that’s
the first time that’s happened...
I
love how when I tell my host family I’m going to do something with a girl I
kind of like they tell me we’re going to get married.
I’m
currently on a school bus that was actually hired to in take kids somewhere…
imagine that! (Old school busses are the main form of public transportation
here).
The
girl next to me on the bus has a tied up sack of chirping chicks. I’ve seen a sack of piglets tied to the
ladder on the back of a bus, but this one’s a first.
