Only Overseas

We all expect life to be different overseas, but there are things that even after 5 years still amaze us...
There are insects; many of them and BIG ones.


Whitman is much braver than his brother when it comes to these large spiders.


Motorcycles are used to transport just about everything.
Yes, the goat is alive.


My six year old can climb a coconut tree, bamboo, or just about any medium sized trunk.

People are always referring to themselves as black and us as white, which isn't taboo to say.  

Grated Cheese
When left out, even just while we eat our meal, it melts together...oh the tropics!
The only bathtub in the house.
It is getting small for the big girl and is used right next to the washing machine which is next to the kitchen sink...of course.  

I have a compost bin out back which had lost it's lid.  This had not been a problem until a chicken, not just once but repeatedly, started laying her eggs in the bin.  I finally came up with a make shift lid.  Who knew my compost would be susceptible to hens.  This is only an issue because chickens and ducks are left to just wander about. 
The things we experience here never cease to amaze me!  Yet, these are just a few of the small aspects of our lives living overseas.
