Weird things I do now.

I realize that I've been pretty weird my entire life, but I was reflecting a little today on how I've become even.more.weird. 

I...
- only paint the nails on my left hand... because I eat with the right. 
- see elephants and monkeys often... and get excited every time. 
- ride side-saddle on the back of motorbikes and scooties.... and somehow manage to maintain balance.  
- use excessive hand motions and sound effects in every conversation. Language barrier. 
- feel self-conscious if I don't have a scarf draped across my shoulders. 
- make 'cowboy coffee' every morning by boiling the ole grinds with the water over the gas stove. 
- put things in the sun to heat/re-heat. Like this homemade syrup...
- say 'cheers' all the time... while having tea with village leaders, coffee with friends, or water at the bus stop. Cheers!
- carry an umbrella for rain AND shine. Everybody's doing it.
