Yup, so there are just some (funny) things as a Peace Corps Volunteer you come to accept as normal. Here a just a few:
1. You constantly assess the question, "How much mold is too much mold?"
Sidenote: The answer varies on food product.
2. The label "Refrigerate After Opening" does not apply to you. Ever. In fact, mayo never is refrigerated.
3. Along those same lines, expiration dates are like Stop Signs: they are mere suggestions.
Sidenote: Milk here lasts for weeks, unopened, unrefrigerated. Your good ol' processessing at work.
4. Bathing once a week in winter is a necessary evil...I mean just that one time. It's cold and a chore - a deadly combination.
5. An entire language can be faked by using mumbling sounds, a smile, and a nod. Try it!
6. There is no TV show, no movie, no YouTube video too bad to watch. Constantly. Who knew I would be watching Battlestar Gallactica?
7. Going to bed at 730 / 8p is perfectly normal.
...I will try to think of others.
