01/23/07 The stories of Africa

I've been back in the states now for a couple weeks. I'm going to start telling my stories of Mozambique before I forget, seems I have a tough of alzhiemers at the age of 25. I guess as things come to me I'll just post em'

Everyone in Africa holds hands and I probably find this remarkable because I'm an American and we like our space. Even the men hold hands !! I know it's crazy. I talked to some Norwegian girls on my trip that said they spent some time in west Africa (St. Thomas islands, the little one) before comming to Mozambique. Evidently in west Africa the men not only hold hands but also have purses..... This is all highly ironic because of the fact that most Africans are very homophobic. If they only knew that holding hands with another man & carrying a purse is the epitome of the gay culture here in America and in most places in Europe. When I say purse, I mean a satchel that looks very simaler to a purse in the western culture.
