Living as an African... kind of

Inside our new room



Yep, that's me cleaning the floor with a rag, like all the other African women do... I swore it was my first and last time, so Simon bought me a mop, with a handle... and a broom... with a handle. It might not seem so exciting but NO ONE uses things with handles here, they all bend in double and use their hands on the floor.
I can't even touch the floor when I bend over!
MEN DON 'T DO THE DISHES!!!... Simon hiding inside to wash and he was trying to avoid his picture taken!
Me, outside in the little compound where all the women do dishes and wash clothes
'Cooking' for the first time... we made tea... it was horrible!
Simon eating chapati (we bought) and drinking chai (tea)
Me cooking french toast... it was great! check out the colour of the African eggs... just like eggs from my mum's chooks!
