but something stood out in particular. a few kids came over to try our cup stacking thing. when we asked them if they'd like to try they shook their heads. but they were obviously interested. after a while we realised they couldn't speak much english. one of them was wearing a cap that said something about a nigerian tour so i guess they were nigerian lol.

it was fun to teach them how to play cup stacking without speaking at all. just simple yes, no, and hand signals. haha. they were so delighted at learning it.

and it resonated with me. how simple communication could actually be. without words. in such times of modernity, in this knowledge based and information saturated society where everyone thrived on being vocal and expressing individual opinions, thoughts, and ideas. where everyone wanted to be heard.

we were able to connect, simply by a few dumb cups, and some laughter. 

it was pretty cool.

the importance of a smile, and the connotation it brings. 

amazing.
