We realized that we have returned to Kenya from a trip to the United States when we
. . . remembered that we can no longer brush our teeth in tap water.
. . . need to change our driving habits to slow down and brake for motorcycles, bicycles carrying passengers and potholes.
. . . find the wings of flying termites on the floor underneath our windows in the morning.
. . . must hang laundry out for a second day to dry during the rainy season.
. . . drive into a petrol (gas) station and the attendant motions you on because they don’t have any petrol.
. . . discover eggs of various sizes in your shopping bag.
. . . eat sweet, sweet bananas and mangoes.
. . . see students dressed in uniforms.
. . . fellow coworkers invite us to take tea.
AND BEST OF ALL
. . . students clap and cheer when we entered the classroom on our first day back.
