you know you are in africa when...
1. rice is breakfast lunch and dinner
2. you can buy anything from shoes to pineapples to pots and pans off of women,s heads...without leaving your vehicle
3. you comfort yourself by saying its only your pee splashing on your legs in the gutter bathrooms
4. no one finds it odd that young children are wandering by themselces carrying an infant and selling items
5. you drink and eat out of bags
6. peeing in public is perfectly acceptable
7. entire villages are aware of your presence and shout exitedly in there language about your whiteness
8. people you do not know and can barely communicate with want your name address and telephone number
9. it is more common than not for a restaurant to not having any of the items on their menu besides rice and it is normal for it to take an hour to serve you
10. your taxi driver tqkes you to his house to meet his family and then proceeds to eat dinner with you
