Daily Africa.
So, some of the girls and I sat down to think up of some AWESOME things you’ll experience if or when you live in Africa….
*Being proposed to at least once a day by a Swazi man
*While making lunch, a family of monkey’s pass by on your upper porch
*A missionary’s bed time is usually 8pm, with wake up being 5:30 am
*No phone call is longer than 30 sec
*The over whelming joy you experience when you actually find a can or sour cream in the local Spar
*Amazing headlines you read while driving to the Cup office every morning
*Going to a carepoint and at least one child will always touch your hair and be in complete Awe
*Everyday is the Kingdom’s National Pee-On-The-Side-Of-The-Road-Day!
*Hazard lights are a whole new meaning
*It’s common to walk out of Spar with the security guy wearing full SWAT gear and an AK-47 chillen in his right hand
*You see hip high Swazi man thigh in authentic attire
*When you feel obligated to know and greet every white person you pass
*A white girl driving a Kombie with “Bling-Bling” written on the back door is national news
*Your entire lawn is cut by a weed wacker
*Driving into on coming traffic is not unusual
*Sunday lunch out at a restaurant takes 4 hours to get….I will never complain when I get back to the states, haha.
*KFC is a treat *To be honored with the only drive-through in Swaziland
*You get excited when its raining and the internet is STILL working ☺
*Poka-Dot shirts and Plaid pants are fashionable
*The 3rd season of “The Office” is the highlight of your week!
*The phrase, “There is starving kids in Africa” becomes more relevant when you know them all by name
*The highest ticket you can get by the Police is 60R= $6 US.. and American’s get the “American Discount” of 70R 
*“I date missionaries for their money” is a great joke for a missionary girl, ha. And Jessy wants to make a shirt for it.
*It takes at least 4 Keys to get into your house…Skeleton Keys just make the process more awesome…
*Playing pranks on people is no longer looked at upon as being childish
*..Everything is the same but different
Nobuhle Dlamini is my Swazi name ☺
*The pepper spray brigade is unleashed when Jessy and I walk out of the Cup Office alone at night to lock up and run to our car….P.S. Don’t tell our parents
Taking a jog requires a can of pepper spray and a walking buddy any hour of the day
“Eish” and “How” become a part of your vocab for shocked describing words
Waiting for cows to cross the highway and roads is a daily occurrence
Geographically, Swaziland is known to missionaries by carepoint location to find places
TIA!
I miss everyone so00o0o0o0o0o0o0o much! I’m actually changing my ticket home to June 1st so I can ride home with all of them. BUT, I have to send my ticket back to the states since its a private paper ticket of some sort.. So, on tuesday, I’m sending it back home through DHL here.. and I can’t do it on Monday due to the King’s Birthday… I DO need some prayer that I can get it back in time for me to fly home… I’ve had some issues with sending mail in my life.. but I hope this isn’t one of them.
Bangs && a Hospital.
