So this is day 1 of being at home. I guess it suffices to say that I have experienced a culture shock upon returning after so long. I actually forgot how it was like to live here and being back is humbling in the sense that I know now that I do not and will not in the future queation my decision to move abroad. Here are some things that proved to be not-so-nice surprises: 1. The potholes on the roads 2. The flies, the mosquitoes and the bugs 3. Frequent and erratic power shortages 4. No pedestrain crossings But on the bright side here are few things that made it a little better: 1.Home cooked food 2.Talking to my brother 3.Eating a favorite childhood chocolate (For 10 cents, I am convinced you can't get anything better ) 4. Accquainting myself with the stray doggos. They are so precious!
