Cross Cultural moment #90975: It's Saturday morning and I'm in the bathroom scrubbing 14 pairs of my underwear, which I have been stockpiling for the last two weeks, in a bucket with my Garnier 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. On day 1 we received handbooks that read, "Undergarments are a very private thing in Africa, so don't even think about handing them to your maid to wash."
We also met a guy named Ahmadou. That story's so long it has to wait 'til later.
