Tricks of the Trade- Traveling

1. Grab a spot in the back of the pickup where you have ample leg room and something sturdy to hold on to. Just kidding- this is impossible. Just don't sit near the creepy guy.

2. Don't ever loosen your grip from whatever you have chosen as your seatbelt. Also, hang on to your hats- literally. I have lost 2 scarves to the dirt road thanks to an overhanging branch and a stiff breeze

3. Refrain from speaking too much Pulaar for the first chunk of the trip. Later, when you open your mouth and Pulaar comes out, the other passengers will realize you have been listening to them, and they will be thrown into a slight panic reviewing what they've been saying about the toubab for the past hour.

4. Thank allah for arriving in one piece. It really is a miracle every time it happens.
