This is not normal...or is it?

We have been living in Dominica for six months now and everyday we are surprised by different things. Living in Dominica is not like living in the US if you haven't already understood that from my previous posts on the blog. Living here is truly an adventure. I just thought I would share some things with you that I don't necessarily think is normal but have become normal over the past six months of living here. 

1. Making your own sour cream
2. Making your own buttermilk to make your own sour cream
3. Being so intimidated by a bull that is blocking the road that you turn around and wait for someone who is driving to take you past the bull
4. Watching a huge shipment of frozen chicken being run over twice by a truck and then still being delivered to the prospective restaurant
5. Local men hissing at you like a snake instead of the typical whistle you hear from a construction worker
6. Being picked up by a plane and landing on a different island only to be told that they sent the wrong size plane and we have to go back and pick up the people we left 
7. Walking with your umbrella opened up out in front of you to keep dry from the horizontal rain
8. Buying eggs from the store only to find out that one of the eggs you bought actually has a chick inside
9. Going to eat at subway and ordering a footlong sandwich and not being able to make it two six inch meals when you pay for it because well of course its a footlong
10. Getting charged by a bull in the middle of a football game

We have now gotten to the point where these things are normal and although they sound absolutely outrageous it actually happens. These are the daily things that make us laugh here in Dominica. "Welcome to the JUNGLE!!!"
