Two minutes ago, I took a big step toward integration.
I hacked up spit in front of four women, and no one eyed me out. I wasn't shy about it, either. It was loud, and if I was watching myself, I would have been disgusted. But these women were totally cool with it!! :D :D :D One of them looked, but the glance was quick and neutral, almost unseeing. The others kept walking, kept texting, etc. Ah if only I could be as cool when other people do it.
This makes me think of a friend, who when returning home after two years in Benin, had to consciously remind himself not to dig his nose in public. I'm gonna turn this into a habit. Yes, this is how I'm going to fulfill Peace Corps goal #3: bring what you learned home. =)
