So if I come back to Canada with a big head let me explain the reason why. If you are white you can not walk down the streets of Mandeville without hearing... "psssst, pssst, whitiiie"(nothing racist) or "hello beautiful". I was told by workers at Projects Abroad that this is a Jamaican's mans way of getting your attention. They also said when this happens that we should just smile and wave and say hi. So for the past 2 days I've taken on the persona of a beauty queen as I walk down the street and smile and wave at everyone.
In other news, I started my placement today and really enjoyed it. I also participated in a reggae yoga class at the Projects Abroad office. All in all a good day! Hope everyone elses day was an excellent one!xoxox
