I am a Guyanese! I've had that song stuck in my head forever! It's so catchy!
Things I'm realizing I've taken advantage of my whole life: air conditioning/fan, microwave, clean water, reliable electricity, dish washer, washing machine, DRYER, having a basic knowledge of what is in my meals, internet, phone, cold weather, privacy, light after 8:00, quiet, things starting on time
Things I'm adapting to: heat, sipping, bugs everywhere, animals everywhere, random rain, being called 'Miss' by all my students, unfamiliar food, washing clothes by hand, extraordinarily loud music and tv, 'Guyana time'
Things I'm thoroughly enjoying: most of the new food (some not so much), the rain, new friends, teaching, new ideas, sharing knowledge, beautiful flowers, new experiences (such as Mash!)
Well that is all for now, hopefully I can add to this more (especially the last one) as I spend more time here :)
