You Know You Are in Africa When….

You take toilet paper and hand sanitizer wherever you go

You pull water from a well

You turn the light on in the bathroom and wait 15 seconds so the cockroaches have time to hide-if you even have a bathroom with a light

You live in your mosquito net and still find bites on you somehow

You buy soda more than ever because it is the only cold beverage you can buy in some places besides mango juice

Only one store in town sells chocolate

You see people carrying a wide array of goods on their head

You name the mouse that is hanging out in your room ( ie Sammy)

You use sticks to broom the carpet instead of a vacuum

There are more cows on the street than cars

You watch a lizard eat a fly on the ceiling and it is the best entertainment of the afternoon

The windows can only be open if the lights are off

A parade of Children follow you down the street

Lunch is at 2 dinner is at 9

God is your air conditioner

You crave popsicles like never before

Sunscreen is a foreign object

The chicken that runs around the house is dinner

Occasionally dinner gets delivered to your house alive
