A Few Small Lessens Learned

1. When you think you are eating a green bean, it may actually be a chili pepper so watch out!
2. Chapati should not be used like a tortilla.
3. Everything can be finger food, even rice and noodles.
4. Don't look for a light switch inside the bathroom - you won't find it.
5. Although tp always sounds like a good idea, an unclogged toilet sounds much better.
6. When meeting tribals, a hand shake may not always be kosher.
7. If children act shy or have a look of complete terror mixed with confusion, don't be alarmed, it's only because they have never seen a white person.
8. Make sure everything is in place before going out to the market or village b/c you'll feel like you're on the catwalk.

Erin pflueger, you are fabulous. Thanks for the lessons...Not ONLY are they entertaining :), but you remind me that it's so necessary to recognize all the little, wonderful things going on in each of our daily lives, rather than dwelling on those which may not work out to our expectations.
Hearts and lots of missing you!
