I'm going to assume most of my family isn't familiar with Tumblr, but it is a kind of blog that has gotten very popular as a site to collect still shots/short videos from TV shows and movies, and use them to describe something in your life. It sounds more complicated than it is, the examples below will explain. I just stumbled across a Tumblr dedicated to Peace Corps life and thought I would share my favorites with you. I have no idea who made this or in what country they served, but goes to show again how similar our experiences are, wherever you are. Humor is our best medicine! Click on each phrase...
When people back home ask what Peace Corps is really like...
When people talk about joining the Peace Corps...
The first month in country...
When I walk through my village...
When I get harassed walking down the street...
When someone in my class shows they actually learned something...
When I think we're talking about work and then I realize I'm being hit on...
When I'm in a taxi and the guy next to me is like...
Mid-Service Crisis... (me right now)
When people in America say - why don't you just come home? (even more-so me right now)
When we see hot tourists...
Driving through the mountains on an old bus...
Every time I'm on Pinterest...
When someone in my village doesn't know who I am...
