signs

you realize you have been in Africa for a significant amount of time when...
--you have a distinct Chaco tan
--you dont blink an eye when the power goes out
--being dirty is just a normal part of the day
--conversations like "can we get chicken at Food Zone?"  "Sure...chicken is chicken.  it's fresh here.  There are a bazillion of them walking around everywhere."...are a regular everyday occurrence (esp between Rachel and me)
--you are on round 2 of the gallon size shampoo bottle
--your sister says to you "wow, i m really gonna miss these power adaptors."
--you can officially say "I will be home next month for Christmas!!"
--you begin to wonder if you will actually be able to drive on the 'correct' side of the road when you return home
--converting Kwatcha to dollars in your head is actually getting easier

...just to name a few
