I have been teaching math and chemistry at the Government High School in my village of Fundong since September. Of course, in addition to teaching and learning a completely different culture, I am glad I can be an example for many young females as a woman pursuing a career in math and science. Men do not. Men drink in bars all day. Women do not.
Men have multiple affairs.
Men and women do not socialize together. There are men groups and women groups. My students do not believe me when I tell them that I do not know how to cook or wash my clothes by hand. I remember visiting a small village during July in the Muslim region. Men and women have separate quarters and never mix.
