1. Eating with your hands is common. Even at a wedding reception, we were given beans, matooke, posho, meat, etc., and expected to eat it and not make a mess.
2. Cheese here tastes awful. That’s all.
3. Oranges are green.
4. We have two chickens in a plastic bag in the back of the hospital ambulance we’re currently riding. This is probably one of my favorite pictures because the chicken looks so ridiculous.

Oh look! I'm in our ambulance. And there is a chicken sitting on some cassava next to Christine's backpack. 5. Eight people fit quite comfortably on a four-person bench in the taxi-vans (matatus).
6. In our hotel room a few weeks ago, the first rule of hotel conduct on the door was, “Esteemed guests: Please do not throw your used condoms out the window or on the floor. Use the wastebasket provided.”
7. Potholes are everywhere. You just drive through them. Seatbelts? What? (these are some serious potholes. They're not even potholes...they're like ditches. But they're not meant to be ditches.)

8. The innards of animals are delicacies – the gizzard, liver, kidneys, the neck ….
9. The showers in hotel rooms are simply a shower head in the bathroom. It makes for quite a wet bathroom floor and toilet.
10. They like to eat whole fish. The eye is the favorite part. Mmm.
11. Cars have right of way, not pedestrians.
12. It is common to say, “Well done,” not necessarily as a response to anything. I don’t fully understand it yet. The proper answer is “Okay.” I still get flustered because it throws me off.
13. “You are lost” = “Where have you been?” We spent a few weeks trying to tell them we weren't lost and then realized what they were saying.
14. “Where are you from?” = “Where did you just come from?”
15. They pick their noses in public. No big deal.
16. Seeing squirrels is a big deal. I don't get it. There are lions and hippos and giraffes here. And squirrels are a big deal.
17. They say, “Yes, please” in response to everything. We haven’t really figured out why. It’s polite.
18. Cows roam the streets all the time. Goats climb trees. (These ones are just hanging out on the side of the road, which is quite common.)
19. We are celebrities everywhere we go. Why? We're white. (Kids are chasing our van here.)
