So i know when you’re traveling overseas there’s the good the bad and the ugly- these are just some funny things we’ve dealt with on the race. I think they’re funny hope you do too!
You know youre in a foreign country when…
20. Honking your horn is actually polite.
19. Murder vans are used as public transportation
18. You go to the barber and the 2 options are mullet and Bon Jovi (thanks Rachelle)
17. People take pictures of you because you’re white
16. You’re surprised when people understand what youre saying
15. You never know if you’re waiting on someone else or they’re waiting on you
14. The only thing you can communicate to the locals is “i dont understand”
13. You dont know exactly what everyone is saying, but you know they’re talking about you
12. You’re required to return your coke bottle
11. No matter what question you ask the answer is always yes
10. The houses look like paint swatches
9. You always carry toilet paper with you
8. Drinks come in bags
7. “Lawn mowers” are actually machetes and farm animals (this happens in OK too haha)
6. 9 o’clock actually means come at 10 and start and 10:30.
5. The only time you’re cold is when youre in the shower
4. There is a real possibility of getting electrocuted in the shower

2. its ok to use the bathroom in the general public
1. People shout “muzungu” at you and it almost becomes endearing
