Since I’ve been in Benin…

I have mastered the art of broken French sprinkled with a few English words said with a crappy French accent.
I have developed an insane fear of being crushed by a truck falling over on its side.
I have somehow not developed a fear of riding motos without helmets. Everyday, several times a day I ride helmet free.
I have threatened to go on a hunger strike, if I have to continue eating the same food everyday.
I have become more addicted to my iPhone than ever before, but I can’t seem to get passed this one level on Angry Birds.
Apparently, I have become more patient.
I have become comfortable with living life within a five mile radius.
I am excited by simple things, such as the lemon syrup we recently stumbled upon. Now the 2 liters we drink of water each day has a little kick!
