...you can buy 18 quail eggs for £2 in the supermarket
...there is no power in the office two mornings in a row
...you come back to find traditional medicine drying on the driveway
...there is no internet connection in the office
...you spend 9 hours a week learning Swahili
...the songs you sing in church sound different
...the matatu (a minibus which transports people) behind you gets fed up waiting in the queue and goes head on into the oncoming traffic

Been here 2 weeks - rapidly getting into the swing of things - making lots of friends. Learning to read and speak Swahili. Getting to know colleagues at Philemon (more in next post). Feel very privileged to be here and being able to work with prison and throughcare ministry.
