I've had the phrase, "you are Malawian" said to me a few times lately and I feel a little proud every time I hear it! This usually comes after I say a phrase in Chichewa, eat some nsima, mzimbe(sugarcane) or nkwani(pumpkin leaves), I've even come to like nyemba(beans) and nonverbally communicate like they do. There are so many different things I've come to love about Malawi and it's culture and when I hear this, even if they are joking, I take it as a compliment!
