Things I like about my new home

the availability of phone credit

listening to snoop dog while taking a bucket bath

being able to cut in lines because they don't do lines

being able to tell anyone off, anytime (usually for giving me white man's prices)

being able to curse anytime because no one understands you anyway

eating a whole chicken cooked on the street

street salad

We are together

getting called mama from random people and being able to call people mama

all the white people in the world are my brothers and sisters

repeating things numerous times (cent cent francs)

speaking three languages in one day

anything from nigeria (even phone reception)

walking anywhere is considered doing sports

people saying good morning to me at 10 pm

eating with my hands

laundry drying in 10 minutes

people taking naps outside

people being so happy when i say hi to them that they clap
