You know when you are on the World Race when… (Swazi Style)
-
You lick your spoon to clean it before passing on to the next person - You eat more chocolate in one day than you have in your entire life
- When washing your feet leaves a ring around the tub
- Getting new clothes means borrowing from your neighbor
- When taking a shower (shower is a relative term i.e. bucket bath) every 5 days is a luxury
- A way of entertainment is betting on exactly what time the ride will arrive (winner gets a drink of their choice)
- You can identify what cars are driving past by the sound of their tires
- When you are excited that you don’t have to fill a bucket to flush the toilet
- When you know what “one cheek up” means
- When you are down to a group of six people and you feel like you have alone time
- You can’t tell the difference between sandal tan or dirty feet
- You’d rather live in a tent than share a house with 80 people
- When you use dental floss & an eye mask to wrap presents
- Your travel plans include hitchhiking a ride to the border and figuring out the rest from there
- When having only 9 people in the back of a small truck is comfortable
- When you can sleep through roosters crowing in the middle of the night
- You don’t even notice the hay in your food
- You dress up to go to the grocery store and it’s the highlight of your week
- Getting Tick Bite Fever is like getting the common cold
- You live with another team long enough to come up with a joint name: Salt + Lego = Saltego
And finally, you know you’re on the World Race w
hen you make top 20 lists to entertain yourself!
These are the things we have learned in the last 2 months of the race.
Team Lego sends a huge THANK YOU (Siyabonga) to Team Salt for teaching us how to live the life on the World Race.
It wouldn’t have been the same without you.
