We got mail! My mom sent a package with some cards and goodies in it. It just so happened to arrive on the same day that we had our "cultural mail" day! We went to check our mail box not really knowing if we had anything or not. Shannon had to stand in a long line with his picture ID. It was freezing cold. People kept cutting and then they would call their friends to the front of the line. He could have paid a bribe to get to front of the line. But my husband will hardly ever pay bribe money! He finally got to the front the honest way and the workers told him they wanted some tea. They wanted him to go and get it for them. He then pulled out some bribe money ($1). It worked. They handed him a slip of paper and told him to go all the way to the other side of the campus to pick up my package! He stood in line again. Once at the front of the line they told him the package was not in his name and he needed to get me. So Shannon pulled out a 5 dollar bill (this was all during dinner time and he was getting hungry). They took the bribe and gave him the package!!! It was a true cultural post office experience. All the bribe money that the postal workers collected is going to be donated to Lottie Moon!
