Each country is a joy to live in in its own way, India must be fascinating, very different from both Greece and Norway.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-19787061583414177102013-09-10T21:01:09.148+06:002013-09-10T21:01:09.148+06:00Hi!

We had a similar incident in Nigeria where we tried to prevent the builders working on our extension cooking and eating a giant bush rabbit (the biggest rat I have ever seen). We called the doctor to convince them it was a bad idea only to have him declare that bush rabbit was very tasty and very good for you. I still remember how thick and scaly the tail was. Ugh.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978675934252049570.post-19664653030395860342013-09-09T14:33:25.085+06:002013-09-09T14:33:25.085+06:00Situations in which local people know the score wh...Situations in which local people know the score when you do not: <br />Ghana, West Africa:<br />I was delighted to find our security guards feeding a street cat and her kittens after they appeared one day in our garden. This went on for several weeks, with myself also feeding the felines, who became plump and healthy. Little had I realised that we were, in fact, jointly feeding them up for a stew pot.
