- use 3 slices of bread per sandwich and think that 2-slice sandwiches are weird and inefficient.
- take bucket baths twice a day
- drink fermented millet on a daily basis, and not feel satisfied without it
- spend as much time a day listening to music as I do now

- know that the Owambo languages existed in the first place

- feel comfortable hitch hiking in lorrie's (semi- trucks)
- eat worms (and enjoy them.. you know, for the loads of minerals they contain)
- eat half as many donuts as I do in Africa (JUST KIDDING!... this is *highly* wishful thinking and day-dream-ey and not good for my sanity.)

- be in Africa
- look forward to the part of the day in which I get to climb trees
- make so many children believe that I know Kung-fu or martial arts (because I'm obviously "a china".)
