That's Different

 So far, when anyone from home asks me to describe what it's like here, I tend to say, 'it's just so different from anything else I've ever experienced before'. I still haven't come up with a better description. Things aren't better or worse here, they are just......different. I wish I could walk around with a video camera to give you a real sense of it but you'll have to be satisfied with a few snapshots instead. These were just some moments where I thought...'you know what, that's different'.

For example, their electrics...they're different.

Their construction techniques...they're different.

Their lemonade is fluorescent green...that's different.

Their minimal reliance on power...that's different.

A 'Germany Shepard'?...that's different.

 

Deep fried cake blobs for breakfast...that's different.

  

Their 'mostly' cleanliness...I hope that's different.

Doing death certifications in the back of a ute in the middle of a crowd... I'm glad that's different.

And then there are some things that are the same. Like BBQ night. This happens every Thursday at the house and with an Aussie being the music DJ and the smell of char coaled meat in the air it feels just like home. I had the most delicious BBQ'd skewers last night. Really tender and tasty. I assumed they were beef. I was wrong. 

Ashlie eating goat in Africa?!... that is really different.  

Till next time x
