Soaking up some local color


David has lived most of his life in a big city. So I knew that coming to rural North Carolina would be a big transition. I have tried to explain how things are in my home culture, and how “No, you can’t walk to a grocery store,¨ and ¨No, you can´t ride a bicycle either because people aren’t used to bike riders out here and you would probably get run over.”

In just a week, David has experienced a lot of different “cultural” events.

My great-aunt’s funeral.
Hunting with my brother.
Chicken Dumplings.
First ever trip to Wal-Mart.
Made-in-NC sweet tea.
Walks outside surrounded by lots of falling leaves and squirrels.
Bluegrass music.
A wedding.
Mexican restaurant.
Barbeque.
Church service.

Let´s see what week 2 has in store!
