Here's the 12 top things I never thought I'd hear, say, do or have done to me while being in Africa!

#12  "I can ha dat?" = translation: Can I have that?

#11  Drinking coke straight out of a 2 liter bottle & not thinking twice about it

#10  "Teresa, should I take a shower today? I just took one 3 days ago!

#9  Looking out of my house door & watching a cow eat our trash

#8  Walking down the street & being passed by a herd of goats

#7  Hearing strange noises coming from the bathroom as one of my team mates ask, "Oh, is someone in the bathroom? Another team mate replies, "Sounds like it!"

#6  Watching one of my team mates get crapped on by a segal at a penguin park in Cape Town

#5  Hearing the country song "She's a good hearted woman" while in a taxi on my way to Mbabane. Africa has enough problems; country music shouldn't be one of them!

#4  "Woman, I'm a hot sexy beast!" Yes, one of my team mates actually said this! I'm just guessing here, but I think she's pretty confident with herself!

#3  "Dock shy" This is siSwati for "I will beat you!" And these people ain't playin either...they will beat you!

#2  Being hit on the head (literally) during a deliverance sermon

#1  Laughing uncontrollably at the person who hit me at the deliverance sermon
