On Cultural Obliviousness

It just now occurred to me, after having hired a maid three weeks ago, that she must think I'm mad or self-destructive for leaving my hair and nail clippings in the rubbish bin in the bathroom.

This is, after all, the land of voodoo.

Ekk.

  1. You don't burn your hair and nail clippings! Do you trust this maid?!

    Watch out for the bad mojo, my friend! I always kept a keen eye on the disposal of my personal hygiene dechets in West Africa. Even if you don't believe in voodoo, you don't need any worked on you.
