Normality

Funny how what used to seem so normal now stands out after living with another 'normal' for a few years. And so here we have a picture of regular rubbish bins standing on the nature strip, nothing of seeming consequence, but after three years in Ecuador where generally you put the bin out just before the truck comes to pick it up and then stay around to bring it back inside as soon as its empty to ensure that your bin doesn't go walking, well, it struck me as quite amazing to see bins all over the place in Sydney casually hanging around on the nature strip waiting hours upon hours for their rightful owners to bring them back in. Living cross culturally opens my eyes in two directions, a new culture and my own. Let's hope those lessons continue!
