The tables have turned people.
Chicken does NOT come in a package… it must be killed at most 10 minutes before cooking, which includes time to de-feather it.
Toilets are relative… I never had to worry about dropping a flip flop in the toilet until now.
Bathing is an illusion… a couple baby wipes under the pits after a couple weeks, put on my earrings and some mascara = I bathed! If you look clean, you are clean.
Waking up to a chicken on your sleeping bag is no big deal, perhaps we will have it for dinner as punishment for bad behavior?
If you go on the World Race you will lose all track of time, and never know what day it really is… this is bad for birthdays, but good for keeping track of your last shower…
Nobody freaks out when the power goes out, people don’t even gasp or look around they just turn on their headlamp that is usually dangling around their neck or in an easy to reach position, and continues life as if nothing happened.
Boobies. Lots of them. Everywhere. Apparently if I wanted to go around topless all I would need is a baby on my hip. Still does not make sense why I have to cover my knees…
Denomination shmomination… I have seen people worship with more freedom and faith here in these little churches of my first 3 countries than I ever have in any American mini or mega church… and I’m not entirely sure they have ever heard the word denomination. Stop the denomination battle people! We worship the same God :]
So month 1 the craziest thing I saw at church was the GIANT fish tank front and center…. That was nothing.
Last Saturday at church (Saturday is the Holy day here in Nepal) the woman in front of me (we sit on the floor women and men separated) opened the window … (am I drawing this out long enough for you?) and held her 2-ish year old son out of the window so he could pee!!! And then pulled him back in and went on with life as if that was normal.
the worst part was it didn't really phase me at the time.. not until today when i started writing this blog, did it become strange that as i was singing worship songs a little boy peed out of a window in church lol
These things are no longer taboo.
Out with the old | in with the new right?
more to come about operation katman-do it soon!!
PS i love your comments, they make me feel like people at home actually miss me, even if you don't know me and you read this, say hey! i promise it will be a cherished hey :]
