Things You See in Malawi Can Be Different Then Home

Women carrying huge loads of wood on their head
Bicycles loaded with wood or charcoal used as transport trucks
A man wearing nothing but a plastic bag loincloth
A fully naked man strolling near our house
Monkeys running through the trees
Crocodiles 10 minutes walk from Regan's school (Janna saw this not me)
Herds of cattle walking through our neighbourhood
Sex workers waving down cars
Goats hanging from hooks, pick your piece and it is hacked off while you wait
Live goats strapped to bicycles
Multiple live chickens hanging from bicycle handlebars
Tire repairs taking place under trees
Plumbers and electricians for hire on the side of the road
Everything imaginable for sale by roving salespeople
Drivers pulling over so that they can purchase more alcohol while they are driving
The friendliest, happiest people I have ever seen.

Hey Jules,

Good to see your still actively posting on your blog...I haven't had an opportunity to check it out lately until now. Very interesting stuff. Hope all is well and look forward to seeing you back home.
