Life in Africa is an ADVENTURE!
To those mzungus who have visited Africa before... did you ever feel like just wetting your pants, or taking a poop just so people will stop coming up to you and stop screaming MZUNGU at you? Im there my friend, i am so there. Ah those days when you could walk to the store without anyone even noticing you were there... Now you cant even scratch yourself without someone screaming at you or someone trying to rub your skin to see if the white comes off... its certainly a strange feeling... How about those days when you could go to the grocery store and not be charged $1 million for a loaf of bread... those were the days, those were the days... ive contemplated buying shoe polish and covering my body with it... i dont think the cost of the shoe polish will out weigh the over charge that you have to deal with every day of your life in Africa... ah being white... today i was told that i was "too white" and she looked incredibly concerned for my health... is it really my fault that i go white, then red, then whiter than i was before? "Is that even possible?" i hear you ask... oh yes my friend, yes it is... welcome to my world... the world of albino skin and and an addiction to "aloevera sun burn lotion"... But hey, God doesnt make mistakes! Im pretty fabulous... :)
fabulous indeed.
