Things in America that Darling does not tell her friend and difference between Zimbabwe life and America?

Darling tells Chipo little to nothing... she doesn't know what to say, and Chipo saves her from having to talk by talking about what is happening at home.... leaving Darling homesick.

I move the phone from one ear to the other, cradling it between my head and shoulder. ’m feeling a little spent; I just don’t know how to deal with all these crazy questions. I lean toward the glass table and start to play with the mail. A card addressed to TK that says foin the U.S. Army, a pink Victoria’s Secret envelope, a red JCPenney envelope, a thing from Pizza Hut, an envelope with a plastic key taped outside, a Bank of America envelope, a Discover Card envelope.
