I have mentioned before, everything here is formal. We met the leaders, shook hands, “Bonjour, Enchante” (Hello, nice to meet you) then Pastor Glenn ‘presented’ us, and we did it again. There are so many cultural differences here. Even Pastor Glenn was tired when we got home, citing that there is rarely a moment when something is familiar, that you don’t have to think…”don’t eat with your left hand, don’t cross your legs, always wave with your right hand, etc”, that you are constantly thinking and being keenly aware not to offend.
