In America...

Surprisingly, I have not gotten a ton of questions about the US or my life at home. However, when I do, I have been finding it very difficult to provide answers that are not regionally specific. I am constantly qualifying my statements and pointing out that things are different across all of the regions of the country – especially weather, which is what I get asked about the most often. At first I thought this made sense to think of a country as one big unit with similar characteristics across it….because that is how I initially thought of Tanzania. However, even here, there are many places that have drastically different climates and weather patterns, among other things.
