Unconventional “pets”.
Who knew there were insects big enough that you could train them to fetch?

15. “I understood that…”
Like Capt. America (in The Avengers) and his elation when he gets the reference to “flying monkeys”; you can experience the same thing when a clerk at the grocery store unexpectedly uses a phrase that you recognize.

16. Secondary Joy.
That moment when you realize that you can speak and share with the national you’re sitting next to, and you can see their appreciation that you took the time to learn about their language and their culture.

So are shower heads and hot water, but that’s all part of the adventure!

12. FOOD.
If you love trying new food both mind-blowingly delicious and offensively disgusting, this is the calling for you! Sure, you may have to muscle down a swig of jal jeera or brave a nibble of casu marzu so as not to offend your host, but think of all the divine ohmi-gyu and biryani adventures your taste buds are about to embark on!

13. Music!
You may have thought you liked rock, country, or jazz exclusively before you became a missionary- but you now realize that a Tamil worship song whose words you do not understand has the ability to move you to tears, and an Armenian folk song can help you get your dance moves on like never before!
