Oh, it seems the way we live is not so much different. I like sleeping on a sheet/blanket on the floor, I like eating with my hands, I like sitting on the floor with my legs crossed for hours, I like living in an open space with no windows and no walls... I had become accustomed to the ways of my ancestors way of living. But I assimilated the ways of what we call "palagi", the "White man's", colonization customs also esp. when it becomes part of your family.
