Things I forgot about…
- People who cut grass with lawn mowers instead of machetes
- Pumping your own gas at gas stations
- The amazing-ness of washing machines
- Drinking water straight out of the tap
- Twilight (In Tanzania once the sun goes down it’s dark. Also, its strange going from 12 hours of daylight to 8.30 p.m. sunsets.)
- Right-side-up constellations
- Wazungu up the wazoo (Being surrounded by Caucasians)
- People who show up on-time to events
- How expensive phone plans are
- Reliable water and electricity
- Where things (especially food items) are stored around the house
- Empty sidewalks (In Tanzania everyone walks so sidewalks (and roadsides) are always populated.)
- Comfortable mattresses
- Orange oranges (In Tanzania these fruits are green so now orange ones just look sickly)
- White sugar (All Tanzanian sugar is off-white and large-crystaled. I rather like it.)
