But you don’t really get freaked out.
Here, you just go ‘Oh, that’s bad’ and ‘Get him out, so we can try this part of chicken now.’
I keep being surprised at myself on how I am actually adjusting well to the life here. Not to say that the life here is very different from whe
re I used to be either the America or in Korea, it’s just that the light and water go out for a pretty decent amount of times, and going to toilet is not too pleasant to do. The key, here, is trying not to ask why the people and the system here are being so inefficient and uncomfortable (in our standard/society), but you need to just look at how they are dealing with those times. If you look
at them, they just don’t rush, and there is nothing to hurry/worry about. Try to do things the way people do here, and I don’t need to question whys. It’s just the way it is to people living here.
Whenever I go to toilet where there is a hole on the ground and you need to aim pretty accurately, I just laugh at myself making so much efforts but still failing. Whenever I need to rely on my laptop monitor’s light or headlamp because light in my room is off, I just enjoy light outside my room and appreciate it being so bright there. Whenever I see a lizard or moth on curtain, I don’t scream/yell/go crazy, but I just wish it does not get stuck in our house and find its way to out-it does not mean that I love them climbing on my body though. I screamed earlier some day when I saw three birds flying in our hallway, though. Out of surprising fear.
It is definitely a happy thing to see some improvements and changes from me. Besides Luganda, in which I can say a bunch of food and some greetings now, I learned how to not interrupt with the way it is around me. Still, I wouldn’t mind if moth flies safely out of our house and finds another nice spot to finish its life. Weelaba! (Bye!)
***Humongous jackfruit!!! It's so sweet and sticky.
