Tips for surviving Kenya:
- Don't flinch when Kenyans hit their kids.
- Do wash your hands after touching one of these kids. Two words: Poo Hands.
- Don't let a Kenyan see you cry. They don't know how to handle it.
- Don't take offense when multiple Kenyans call you fat. Apparently its a good thing. Never feels like it though.
- Enjoy the tea breaks. Thanks England.
- Ignore the weird milk skin that forms on top of your tea.
- Don't think about the things you crave.
- Don't freak out every time you wake up with bug bites. It's going to happen and often.
- Don't be sarcastic. It doesn't translate.
- Do wear two sports bras.
- Do remember to take your malaria medication.
- Don't under cook anything.
- Do hold your breath around piles of burning garbage.
- Always carry wipes.
- Practice squatting.
