1.
I eat stuff I would not have looked twice at in
the UK.
2.
I am not so fussy about cleanliness.
3.
If food falls on the floor, quite often I pick
it up and eat it (well...you never know when the next lot will arrive).
4.
I have ridiculous cravings for chocolate.
5.
I wear my clothes more than once between each
wash (well, except underwear).
6.
I stock pile water in buckets, bins and basins
in case the water goes off.
7.
I keep candles and torch at the ready for power
cuts.
8.
I cook on kerosene if the power goes off.
9.
I don’t have a melt-down if water or power go
off.
10.
I have a vegetable patch.
11.
I can live without a fridge (but after 3 months
chose not to).
12.
If someone starts chatting to me, I will have a
conversation with them (unless they ask me for money).
13.
I love being on the back of a motor bike.
14.
I can easily sit on the back of a motorbike for
an hour without holding on (except for the most bumpy/rutted bits)
15.
I realise how much I value friends and family.
16.
I can do Christmas without presents.
17.
I am calm and relaxed most of the time.
18.
I actually miss running.
19.
I would hate to be a celebrity as anonymity is a
great thing.
20.
I know I really like my privacy.
21.
I know what Vermox is for and have resolved to
take it once every few months “just in case”.
22.
I know how to use a rat trap and can deal with
whatever gets entangled in it
23.
It’s a good day if I am able to get as much as
half a bucket of cold water and one kettle of hot water to wash myself with.
24.
I know that a hoe is a tool, not an insult. And I can use one. Quite well.
25.
I can use three languages in one conversation to
make myself understood.
26.
I will get up to run at 5:30am (sometimes) if it
means I can go for a run.
27.
I frequently spend half an hour waiting for one email
to load.
28.
I often have little or no lunch.
29.
I am never sure if someone is telling me they
have been playing or praying.
30.
There are days when I have no cash power for the
electricity, no phone credit or charge and no money.
