You Know You are Nearing the End of the World Race When…
·
You talk about past months and refer to them by
the country rather then the name of the month.
·
One of your teammates can’t remember when she
showered last!
·
You have a pile of clothes that are kind of
clean (only worn a few times).
·
Bucket showers and “showering� with wet wipes is
normal.
·
You begin making a list of everything you want
to do and eat when you return home (drinking Dr. Pepper and going to Silver
Dollar City are at the top of my list)
·
A 10-hour bus ride seems short.
·
Being called on to preach at a moments notice no
longer frightens you.
·
Your sleeping pad doesn’t stay inflated any
longer.
·
Wearing a seat belt is foreign now.
·
Packing more then twice as many people into a
vehicle then is legal in the US is no big deal…..a little smelly, but no big
deal!
·
Your bible is so marked up in places that it’s
hard to read.
·
You get excited when your soda is served in a
glass with ice!
·
You can’t wait to flush toilet paper again (it’s
been 6 months)
·
You’ve finally given up on the idea of ever
truly being alone….but you still wish that you could.
·
If you are wearing clothes that match, it’s a
good day.
·
What’s make-up?
·
Your wardrobe consists of items from at least 5
different countries.
·
You open your wallet and you have to sort
through a variety of currencies until you find the one for the country you are
currently in.
·
You’ve given up on ever having your name
pronounced correctly and you answer to just about anything.
·
You wonder what it’s going to be like to use a
cell phone and drive again.
·
You know that when you return to the US you will
have extreme culture shock.
·
Every time you eat you talk about your favorite
foods from back home and wish you were eating them instead.
·
When you watch movies set in the US, you freak
out when you see cars driving on the right side of the road.
·
Every time you go shopping you have to ask,
“What’s the exchange rate again?�
·
Your head-lamp becomes an accessory.
