It would seem that having visited our village in India some summers has paid off. With some of the "problems" that arise here, I know exactly what to do merely because we've been through the same things there.
Very weak water pressure, not quite strong enough to take a decent shower? Fill a bucket with water and use a pitcher to pour water over your head. Toilets won't flush because the water tank takes several minutes to fill up again? Same solution, except you aim the water elsewhere.
It's a feeling of "been there, done that" that is quite welcome actually. It stands quite in contrast with my general unfamiliarity with tropical medicine.

ReplyDeleteI know the bucket thing, I detest it as around 5:00 pm the mosquitoes hover the water buckets and lay eggs that hatch into maggots after 2 seconds...
thank GOD for the selection of countries and climates.
Hang in there!
Emptying buckets is also permitted :) And mosquito nets, damn, they're a godsend.
