Turns out, taking pictures is a cultural value. They love a good spectacle. And they love to document it. This new information makes me feel a little bit better about life here. I'm not as weird as I thought!
We took a boat ride in a seaside town last week. It took 5 minutes until someone approached me for a picture. Then, the entire ride was one funny photo op after another. The picture is the most amazing one. Our guys decided- why not form a human pyramid? That should fulfill the desire for spectacle- worthy pictures. Please note the crowd that gathered to watch and document. We dont know half of these people.
I realized the other day, I've got more exposure than Paris Hilton. There are SO many pictures of me floating around this country. I wonder what people do with the pictures of foreigners that they take?
