There no letterboxes here and therefore no street numbers. There are often no street names either! This makes writing your calls down very difficult and directing people to the territory even harder. You kinda have to say something like this:
Go over the canal and take the second path on the left, but you might not be able to get to it that way as there was a huge puddle in front of it yesterday. Once you get into the lane go to the fourth mango tree and turn right, then find the single story house next to the two
story house but not the pink one, the white one and start from there.
Then this morning we get to the group and the brother very carefully assigns the territory but as Im listening Im thinking that sounds exactly like the territory we did on Sat morning. What do I do? Do I say something and sound like a know it all foreigner, or let us do the same territory again, or hope we are going somewhere else? I told Dave it was his job as the brother to explain, phew, got out of that one! Just as well though, as it was the same piece of territory. Mind you, here you could call on the same person ten times in one week and they wouldnt mind as long as you have a different subject each time.
Strange how different it is.
