Episode 9
Lake Malawi
One thing that is forever cracking me up is how people wil run up to you and greet you. Normally I get a lot of "hi-yaaaa!" from kids running around in the streets. When I was up at the lake, a boy yelled at "konichiwa!" so I yelled back "konichiwa!" And then, he yelled out "godzilla!" I think he ran out of Japanese words to say. Either way, it had me barreled over laughing, and I nearly fell into the water.
On another note, people always think I am younger than 22. When I went to a club at the beach, my friend would have grown men yelling out "hey mama, I want to marry you! Let me buy you a beer!" Whereas I would get 12-14 year old boys yelling "my brother owns this bar. Let me buy you a coke!" It was pretty funny, but at the same time, not.
