I just got back from a trip to South Africa. I would like to confirm that indeed the stars are different on the other side of the world, the water goes down the drain in the other direction, the sun arcs on the other side, and penguins live in dirt not on ice!
It was CRAZY! Bands of marauding penguins ruthlessly hunt down defenseless bunnies! And men and women pray side by side in a mainstream mosque without jumping each other for sex in the middle of the salat!
Insha'Allah, I'll be posting about my trip in several parts over the next few weeks. I plan to write on my trip to a Muslims girls' school, the Muslim Youth Movement, women doing gender activism, profiles of some extraordinary people, and cultural dissonance.
