…you are sometimes forced to choose between a cold bucket bath with brown well water or remaining covered in your own sweat and filth.
…you and your neighbors may be forced to live without electricity for months if the transformer that powers a community’s electricity mysteriously goes missing, and the electric company refuses to replace it without being paid a huge sum of money.
…you realize that the “menus” in local restaurants are pretty much useless, since they’re usually stocked out of all but a few items.
…you will be dragged to religious services and will be forced to improvise when it comes to an appropriate head covering (e.g., a Santa hat with blinking lights works wonders)
…you may accidentally use annointing oil to cook your eggs (since there’s no label denoting it as such, and it’s sold in the marketplace next to the tomatoes and bouillon cubes).
…you’ll contract malaria (and possibly typhoid) and decide it’s no big deal.
