Things I Love about Liberia

  • - the crazy driving
  • - road signs- example: wash your hands after you pu-pu.
  • - the people!
  • - plantain chips
  • - liberian praise songs
  • - the weather
  • - Liberian English
  • - Proverbs they use:
    • -"There is a war in central Africa" ... (i am hungry!)
    • -"Airplane don't blow horn"... (we are not going to wait for you... airplanes don't!)
    • -"Belly bust before good food waste"
  • - the beach
  • - the mountains
  • - fresh papaya with lime
  • - palm butter soup on my rice
  • - Jollof rice
  • - the Liberian handshake
  • - the fact that the grocery store owners know us and call us "samaritan" when we come in... and give us free gifts for spending so much money!
  • - to be able to live and experience a place so distant and different than where I come from, yet appreciate it the same.
