Its hard to believe, but we have literally been living on this side of the world for over a year!
And what a year it has been! You already know about us learning a new language and culture, expanding our family from three to four, but below are some other "interesting" things we have learned during this past year.
1) "Bathing"can be done any time, any place. From the very public Street Bathing with water from the fire-hydrant, to a bucket in a friends living room (the only limits are your creativity)
2) When the weatherman calls for "Rains" during Monsoon Season, it is no joke!
What your looking at was once a very Busy and Crowded Paved Highway, that has now been taken over by the Monsoon.
3) Nobody ever has loose change. It is not uncommon to receive candy from store clerks as compensation for the replacement of the change they don't have when you make a purchase.
4) The word "crowded" takes on new meaning on this side of the world
A Typical street
5) Time is really nothing but a number. No one really ever shows up to appointments on time, but rather 'on their own time.' Imagine life being like how it is when you go for an appointment at the doctors office ;)
