By Taylor:

- Ethiopian food has replaced Mexican food

- Popcorn is a nice cheap treat

- I drink a lot of tea the British way (though my craving changes depending on time of day and country)

- Board games have replaced all other game play (mainly Settlers)

though we do use our Wii during SIM Sudan functions

- I still love Mac computers

- I’m shooting way more photography than video these days

- The occasional ‘western’ candy bar shows up in shops and we buy cases of them, if we don’t, the NGOs buy the ALL up (same goes for corn flakes)

- Ketchup goes with everything (yes, I didn’t know that already)

- Tony’s Cajun seasoning goes well on everything

it’s funny what you favor in traveling here with tight weight restrictions on flights

- who needs a tooth brush & paste when I could take a box of candy instead? (weight restrictions on flights make you make odd decisions)

- I swore I’d never drink powdered milk or eat SPAM, I do both daily almost

I drink gallons of real milk when in Nairobi on R&R

- I wish I knew how to make sausage, plenty of domestic pigs, but not eaten by anyone
I’m a sausage connoisseur, but I guess a connoisseur of anything would probably know how to make their item

- Birthday and well wishes come for 2 days (b/c of time zones)
