Plunging into a new culture without getting drowned

November 8, 2008 by

Making and hanging out with new friends

On October 6th we began our "new life" in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Since then we feel like 4 year old kids who do not know how to behave nor how to eat, nor how to communicate more than on a surface level!

This can make even the simplest living really stressfull. But fortunately we have a really neat host-family who takes care of us and explains to us everything step by step. That way we hope to grow faster than a 4 year old child, and be mature in about a year! 🙂

As a matter of fact, it seems that we are adopting fast to our new environment, the extremely hot food with lots of rice and the temperature with its humidity.

We have gotten to know a lot of new people and are trying now to find out how to interact appropriately, while making new friends.
