Life Changes
I’ve getting close to having been here for 5 months, and I was reflecting today on some of the ways I’ve changed. Here are a few:
- I eat white rice every day
- I sometimes plan my commute around the call to prayer
- I have frequent conversations about motorcycles, the pros and cons of various brands, and motorcycle maintenance and repair. And I enjoy them
- Toilet paper is more of an oddity than a necessity
- I feel totally inappropriate if I leave the house without wearing leggings and having my shoulders covered
- Western rules of the road have gone out the window (more on this later)
- I am no longer taken aback by bank tellers and cell phone companies asking me my religion.
- I mostly drink instant coffee
- I am at peace with the rats living in our break room
