Oh Kenya how you've changed me

This is what I have notice so far…..Im sure more to follow

1. I don’t know how to say the word yes. Instead I raise my eyebrows in response.

2. Before I was strictly a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl…now Im a ankle length skirt and blouse....If I go out in anything else I feel like a prostitute.

3. I will end up signing in a conversation, even if you have no idea how to sign.

4. When someone asks me a question, I say ‘eehh” or a grunt.

5. I have lost my spelling, math and writing skills.

6. I am not ashamed to pick  my nose in public....although I might do it with a little more grace. I dont just stand there digging.

7. I have lost my desire to bath everyday and have instead bathed every four days or sometimes once a week.

8. Upon meeting someone for the firsttime, I am  immediatly asking myself what is their agenda( not sure if its a good change).

9. Although washing my clothes is still a bi**h to do, especially when I have run out of clean underware, then I start to curse at it,  mopping my house( Kenyan style) actually relaxes me.

10. Although I have refrained so far, I feel like it is only a matter of time when a drunk goes to far and I will not hesitate to knee him in his special place.

11. I feel awkward around other white people and don't know how to interact with them.
