My life turned upside down since being on the race. What would be unusual to me is now normal.
-
It’s totally normal to go a couple of days without a shower; because I would rather be dirty than take a shower in a questionable hostel bathroom.
-
It’s totally normal to sleep on the floor while my sleeping pad keeps deflating.
-
It’s totally normal to travel 23 hours on a bus just to do another 30 hours of bus travel 2 days later.
-
It’s totally normal to have a conversation with one of my squad mates in a public bathroom while both of us are relieving oneself.
-
It’s totally normal to survive on a $1 USD a day for each meal in various currencies.
-
It’s totally normal to film every church service on Sundays. What can I say, how often will I have the privilege of worshiping in 11 languages.
-
It’s totally normal to hand wash clothes for a dear friend for treats even though I only knew him for a month at that time.
-
It’s totally normal to live, eat with a Hindu family, and getting use to seeing their giant shrine right in the living room.
-
It’s totally normal going to church in a Hotel on Sundays.
-
It’s totally normal to blurt out your darkest secret to people you’ve only known for just 3 months.
-
It’s totally normal to hurry up and wait for hours before you can finally leave to your destination.
-
It’s totally normal to sleep in the aisle on a bus, because it’s more comfortable than the bus chair.
-
It’s totally normal not expecting a western toilet but sometimes when you do find one you end up chosing the squatty potty instead.
- It’s totally normal seeing four people fit on a motorcycle, usually it's two adults, two infants and sometimes a goat.
Thank you everyone for reading my blog and for your support.
