Here are some of the more entertaining questions I get about the Good Ole USA:
-Are there black people in the states? (Ok, that's ligit, but it's almost always followed by:) Do they speak Bambara? (Even within their own country not everyone speaks Bambara!)
-How long did it take you to drive here?
-When people die in the states, can the doctors bring them back to life? (this was actually the pharmasist at the health center, maybe she was thinking of when your heart stops, I'm not sure)
-A group of kids: How do you say kalo in English? (This is moon, but "moon" is how you say "What?" in Bambara. So it was kind of like a "Who's on first" situation. Moon/kalo! kalo! the thing in the sky at night/ moon/ kalo kalo don't you know?/ yes you say moon/ KALO! (stupid white girl)
-Every kind of food and animal: do they have this in america?
-Do women carry their babies on their backs in America? Well then what do they do with them?
-Why can't you marry more than one woman in America? Why do women only have one or two kids. And of course the age old question that is asked at least 5 times a day: Why aren't YOU married and WHO are you going to marry?
