There were so many interesting little things about Liberia that I can’t even begin to write about them all. Here's just a taste of what I experienced:
➢ Apparently “embarrass” is the new phrase in Liberia. Everything and everyone can either be embarrassed or get embarrassed. IE “this person calling me and just embarrassing my phone, man.” Was funny.
➢ These are the various ‘chopping’ of the words Colloquium: the Curriculum, the Cloroquine and my personal favorite, the Colloqua. Eeeeeverywhere you went, somebody was talking about the Colloqua the Colloqua. TOO funny.
➢ Either the deodorant isn’t strong enough for us LIB, or some of us jess don’t like wearing it. But you learn to live with the funk.
➢ Horn-Honking is the means of communication b/t cars and nobody doh pick you up or lay you down when you blow the horn.
➢ I heard the driver say this and thought it very telling of how the service people think of Liberia. “Not every finger on the hand equal o.” The other person he was talking to responded by talking about how when ‘Congo people’ steal they call it embezzling and when the ‘country man’ does they call it stealing. If only they knew how that was true in America as well.
Riding in the car and listening to the radio spots.
