From Africa to India
I knew
the transition from Africa to India would be an interesting one. This is
nothing like I expected it to be though!
Africa
No taste to the food at all
The
children run to you excited to see you.
Everyone
shakes your hand and is supper friendly. In Rwanda everyone did this 3 cheek
hug thing.
No
difference really in the way men view women.
We would
stay with a family.
So much
more welcoming.
Working with small churches.
India
Flavor in the food (spicey)
The
children don’t even turn their head to look at you
You don’t
shake hands.
Men and
Women don’t touch at all or make eye contact or smile at each other.
We are
staying in a hostel.
Men stare at you like you are a piece of meat.
Working with a huge organization.
All we have to do is paint murals! 🙂
Don’t get
me wrong India is neat and I have enjoyed the continent change. I’m just
missing some of the things from Africa and it is harder then I thought it would
be to be back in Asia.
