It’s kind of hard when you go from living in a third world country like Sierra Leone to a first world country like Australia…. and I guess this got me thinking about some of the things I am missing from my home away from home, for example:
§ Having all the little kids run up to you in the hospital and give you a hug…
§ Having sunset jam sessions
§ The many weekend adventures
§ My feet miss being on African soil
§ My friends
§ Being 1 minute from work
§ Seeing things out of the ordinary
On the other hand, I will say there are heaps of things that I really love about being back home, like:
- Having plenty of access to clean drinking water
- Being able to have a shower for longer than 2 minutes
- Clean toilets with toilet paper
- Driving on the correct side of the road
- Traffic lights that regulate traffic
- My comfortable double bed
- Having takeaway food
- And most of all, my friends and family
It really is great to be back home but I really do miss that big white ship…
God is good
