Everytime I start writing in this blogspace tonight, I delete what I've written because it sounds like I'm whining or being critical. I don't like that so much.
I had some run-ins today while I was out and about that triggered some aftershock ripples of culture shock. I know that I dealt with a lot of this stuff last year, but I just didn't expect it to come up today.
I'll just be honest. I really struggle to understand Africans. I sometimes am stunned by this culture and the people in it. I feel very American in it at times. I wait for the day when I can say, "A-ha! I get it!" Yet sometimes I wonder if that day will ever come.
And part of me is ready for a change of scenery that I know isn't coming anytime soon.
