Impressions

The first impression that I got from my field site is that the landscape was very different. I remember the place being surrounded by hills. The parade that the festival held for the twins was up and down hills. I joined the parade with my twin sister and the weather was extremely hot. Many people were struggling down the hills because they were old or just tired from walking in the extreme heat. I also was overwhelmed with how many people were actually there. Everywhere you looked a set of twins were standing nearby.
In the new space that I was in I felt like I belonged. I was one of the group per say. I am obviously an insider in my subculture so going to the place and seeing people that are like me was fun. I got to experience what the atmosphere was like with other people that relate to me. It was kind of different because I had never been there but it was easy to get used to.
In my subculture I am in insider. I don't know that I could even consider my as an outsider. There are things that I don't know about twins that I am still learning an experiencing. That is the only way that I could be an outsider. I think that the different experiences that other twins have had an I haven't make me an outsider in that aspect of not always knowing the answers.
