India Culture shock

Woo, by far the most culture shock I've ever had and here is a list why: 

 

Men wearing skirts

cow poop everywhere

trash in every place you look

hot and sweaty all day
noise all the time 

Human poop and urine on the street 

No trash cans

car horns being blown at all times of the day

buses are only one speed  bump from collapsing

taxis filled with random people
taxis riding dirty- no license and dodging the police 

men, women and children running up and down the streets constantly 

children running naked everywhere

curry in the smell of the air

heat beaming down all day

people starring as though you were not human

people thinking because I am dark I am a local but my hair is different so I cant be

eating with only your right hand everyday

The left hand is used to wipe your butt 

not sure if your hands are clean when you eat 

pooping in stinky urine and poop filled squatty potties

people yelling in the streets and I dont know if it's an argument or regular conversation

Time doesn't exist here 

Women grabbing my checks and saying nice boy 

Poor people on every corner

Women veiled from head to toe 

Water buffalo walking the street 

Goats roaming around 

Pooping in a bucket on a roof for my toilet 

Making a private bathroom in the woods using palm branches, footprints, and rain fly,  to make a curtain

Spicy food on every plate 

Staying in villages

No shower for 3 days at a time

Dirty clothes being worn over and over 

Beaches have dead sea creatures on it 

Mosquitoes and bugs enjoying my flesh 

Taking showers with a bucket 

People trying to pay for prayer

Butt burns from all the spices 

constipated from eating rice everyday 

Bottled water is filled then refilled with fresh water and sold again 

Dirty hands serving your food

Dishes being used are sprayed wiped with dirty towel and reused 

Thorns poking through my shoes when we walk 
Smashing spiders with my hand
spiders making their home in my tent while I'm sleeping 
 

Don't get it twisted India isn't horrible it's just different, very different. This was a good month and I'll write more on the ministry we did later. Thank you to all those who take time to read my blogs. Much love
