a chart for how doing things makes me feel:
taking pictures in america: okay
taking pictures in africa: conflicted and awkward
seeing someone i know in america: okay/good
seeing someone i know in africa: ecstatic
throwing away food in america: bad
throwing away food in africa: fucking evil
all that is left on my plate is a tomato
all that is left on your plate are animal bones
i seriously don't understand
all that people eat here are cheap foods because most people in langa are poor
cheap foods, which are junk foods
fried chicken, fried bread, french fries
and rice, loads of rice
and everyone is still so thin
when i went to school i bought three papayas and ate one
i bought four carrots and ate one
i bought a hat for twenty cents because i did not expect it to be forty degrees
and i only brought a small bag of clothes and not a hat
it was eighty at the beach yesterday
i ate an entire cucumber and the heels of a loaf of wheat bread
put the rest in my bag to give to my host family
all they drink is tea and full cream milk
all they eat is meat and rice, it is all that is cheap here
so, so many goats
vegan at lunch time, not hungry at breakfast, rice and milk for dinner
so, so many goats
so many goats!
