oddities.
Guatemalans are for the most part unable to grow a beard. I have kind of a half hearted attempt going right now......so, of course this brings to thier mind the most famous bearded man alive....Bin Laden. Because I have half a beard, I look like Bin Laden to them (ok...it is a joke...but it is REALLY strange that this is what enters thier head...I mean THEY are the ones with black hair and similar skin....).
A few weeks ago a fascinated kid pointed at my Adam´s Apple and demanded to know what it was. When I told him it was caled an "Adam´s Apple," he promptly indicated that I should spit it out so he could see it. I had a difficult time explaining to him why I was laughing to hard.
Update:there were 24 people in the back of the pickup i took to the internet today. this is the amount of people that it takes to make a pickup have to speed up to get over a speedbump (in case you were wondering)
I learned to do my laundry by hand the other day. The women stood around watching and laughing. I think it was a lot like if i had never had to feed myself before.
