Yesterday I meet you for
the first time!
As soon as I got off the
plane humidity just took over me and my skin just got shiny and sticky; it didn´t feel that good at the time but now, after less
than 24 hours, I’ve accepted it will be part of me (it doesn´t mean I got used
to it already!). It’s interesting how fast we are “forced” to adapt and accept
what will happen…
Yesterday I walked
around for 3 hours and it’s just like I used to watch in the movies: there is
red dust all over in the air. But it’s much more magical in real – the smell in
the air keeps on changing; I can feel the air evolving me; my skin is so sticky
that the dust just gets stuck on it. I had so much dust on my skin that I don´t
think any mosquito would be able to bite me.
It’s very interesting
how people drink water here! We buy 0,5 liter in plastic bags; then we tore one
corner and we drink from there. It’s treated water and it’s 10 times cheaper
than bottles of water!
To finish the day I was
just feeling like having a shower. I was told that the water would be cold but
that would be fine for me. So the time to take the shower came but there was
not water coming out of the tap… and I was told that it can last for some days…
so yeah…!
But it got better! Just
5min before I was going to bed I saw the biggest spider I’ve ever seen in my
life! The interesting fact is that if it would have happened in Portugal I
would be thinking for half an hour of how much I hated spiders and how
disgusting they are. Here, something different happened – 5min after I saw it I
was making a mental exercise of not hating them and of trying to perceive them
as any other animal. After all, some day it might just appear in my bed…!
