A few photos of where we live...
The view from our flat
Our living area
Our kitchen
Our flat with our car parked in front. We live on the top right. Notice the children below that start playing as early as 6:30 a.m. and stop playing around 8 p.m. The complex is full of children. We play soccer with them, and they always win!
The Market in town.
The car having the oil changed and brakes worked on...they work in the ground!
Just a few things we are learning:
You buy milk warm and refrigerate after opening.
The avocados are the size of a small child’s head.
The day starts early, we had a knock on our door at 6:30…he was from the census.
We pay for parking at the grocery store.
People love sour milk!
The electricity will randomly go out, so we have candles and matches handy in every room.
We prepay for electricity and cell phone minutes.
Cabbage is the size of a baseball.
Figuring out conversions - cooking at 190 as opposed to 375 and driving at 120 feels a little funny.
Women bring blankets to church.
Women and men sit on opposite sides during church.
Oh, what wonderful memories this brings back. We will never forget our Swazi experience.
ReplyDeleteMe too! As I was reading what you guys are learning, I remembered when I learned some of those very same things and how weird it was at first. :) I pray you continue to have joy as you learn new things all the time!!
