Things I've Learned 2.0
Thought it was time for another installment of Things I've Learned.
1 - When it comes to latrine holes, size does matter.
2 - Man, for…oh, about a week, really can live by bread alone (especially if the only other options for food are fish head, fermented corn mush balls and okra soup).
3 - No matter how many times you eat that lady’s rice and stew, you will get sick!
4 - You can play with fire and not get burned - you can even run around dancing in a crowd of several thousand people, each carrying a flaming torch, and not get burned.
5 - You can do useful things with fire, like light your stove top, and singe your eyebrows off with frightening regularity.
6 - A tro is never full - unless it’s a Fulani woman that wants to get on. :(
7 - Seconds are longer than minutes are longer than hours are longer than days, but a month can go by without notice.
8 - That I need to accept the fact that, for whatever reason, I look like Jackie Chan to these people (seriously?)
9 - Jackie Chan is not the worst celebrity to be compared to in this country (apparently my little brother looks like Dolph Lundgren).
10 - You can always take less and give more than you think.
