One of my favorite things about being here is the difference in culture from that of my old life. I love how things here just are. I enjoy the custom clothes that are hand-stitched with care and worn with pride. I like the feeling of oldness…of tradition that lingers in the air.
I like to look around and see nothing familiar. That feeling of being completely removed from what we have grown so used to.
I may see these things every day, these women, these markets, this produce, but it still gives me the greatest joy to be able to walk around and feel so welcome in an out-of-place world.
