So you know you're in a war zone when:
**you get off the plane and there are only military jets and NGO/aid organization helicopters at the airport.
**fighter jets are waiting for your plane to get out of the way so they can take off
**you see more people wearing camouflage than you see wearing normal clothes
**every other car is either an NGO truck or a military truck
**you're not supposed to go out after dark
**you hear a wedding celebration outside and you automatically think that there's something dangerous going on
**you find yourself often thinking 'and here I am on the road where all the cars get hijacked' or 'and now I'm in the market where people get shot'
**no one looks twice at a caravan of military trucks full of camouflage soldiers and big guns
**you have to go to security meetings twice a week to be briefed on all the shootings, hijackings and evacuations going on
This is what most people think of when they hear 'Sandbox' but I really don't live in a war zone, I promise. My friends do but my town is peaceful...except for that one time...
