Signs you are getting accustomed to living in Swaziland1. Getting up at 5:30am to wash you underwear (so it can dry in the sun while you are at work) is as much a part of your routine as brushing your teeth.
2. Cockroaches while still scary and gross, no longer surprise you.
3. You no longer expect drivers to stop for red lights, stop signs or crosswalks. You cross the street anytime it seems safe.
4. You are surprised to hear music that is NOT gospel.
5. Instant coffee with powdered milk = good coffee.
6. You greet other woman by calling them mother or sister.
7. You automatically put on a skirt if you are going to a rural area.
8. You start saying things like “bru”, “is it?” and “just now”
A:“I slept terribly last night.” B: “Is it?”
A: “I will meet you at the store.” B: “I’m coming just now.”
9. Your booty is not so big.
10. If you see a driver flashing his hazard lights you know there are cattle on the road. (there are cattle EVERYWHERE here).
