Title

This is where I'll be posting for the next four months, writing about my adventures and interesting daily interactions. To start, before I leave, an explanation of the blog's title. The Swahili proverb "Dunia duara" literally means "the earth is round". It's traditionally meant that you shouldn't be worried by the little things, because after all, the earth is round! It's a reminder to myself that while in a different, and possibly scary and new, place, that I shouldn't let the little things bother me. It's also a reminder that the earth is round, and we're all connected. We're all part of the human family, and while culture and traditions may be different and new, we're all part of this family, and we can always remember that the earth is round. Dunia duara!
