You know you are in Africa when...

Kids play with rusty nails at church as if that is an acceptable toy. And while we're on church and knowing you're in Africa, the kids pee, poop, and throw up any and every where right outside the church.

The service is strangely NOT interrupted when a guinea fowl (like a mix between a chicken and turkey) comes in the church and starts screeching. One just quickly gets up and pushes it outside like nothing is abnormal.

The highlight of your week is hitting the boulangerie at the right time so you get your bread hot. It is SO good. I was talking to a friend the other day, it's like getting to Krispy Kreme right when the donuts are hot. It's great.

There are so many bugs in your rice that despite rincing it five times, they are still floating around as you cook it.

You have grass growing on the roof of your house but not in your yard.
