(5-21-2012) This place is amazing - saddening, shocking and scary at times but amazon none the less. So far I have been through all sorts of crazy adventures, patted down by kids mobbing me ( trying to find something 2 steal). Herded like a sheep around my site so I stay safe and "within bounds" per say. Begged by little kids to be taken back to America ( I will be good, very quiet; they bargain) and seen poverty at a level that was absolutely despairing, and then realizing it gets worse... :/ however what never ceases to surprise me is overall happiness on people's faces over simple things. Kids play with empty buckets and rickety home made wheelbarrows of sorts, adults are just happy to talk or even just sit by me (that and I think one or two is constantly assigned 2 be near me) .
Haha the other thing that is taking some getting use to is the general serious protection/ babying.
"sit (in this special chair) to conserve energy for the sermon"
"eat more food for you need more strength"
and in general
"no! You can't do that it's not safe"
It's all very interesting but I am being as flexible as I think I have ever been, it's all good - God is good. :)
